Size of solar panel to maintain in storage

Hi all, new to the 5th wheel scene. We have a 2017 Montana 3661RL. I have a hook up for the solar panel but not sure what would be a good solar panel to get just to keep batteries maintained while it's stored. I store it in my yard so it would be safe to leave out. Just looking for panel to prop up not perrminitly mount.


Thank you

Martin,

50 watt should be plenty if you keep the batteries disconnected.

We have a 135W panel permanently installed, and it meets our needs just fine.

I have a 10w Sunar panel that keeps both batteries fully charged.
