Once you know or think you know you can start planning what you want to do.
I am thinking of setting up for boon docking also.

I already have 2 batteries. When I start I will start with adding batteries. Preferably AGMs (less off gassing and maintenance)
Second a generator. 2000 watt to just charge batteries or a second genny or something bigger to run AC. (still working on that)
DW’s thermostat runs hot so I need to plan for AC if I want to extend the BD season.

Then if we find we really like it then add Solar.

By doing it this way we cut the upfront expenses and if we change our minds it is easier to back out

These are all great things to think about and this is the way we would proceed. Thanks for your insight.
