How to Pick Out Size of Go Power Portable Solar System for RV

Question:

We are interested in a solar power option for our 30 ft travel trailer. Our basic questions are about the overall sizing the system. The trailer has 30 amp service and running the AC and frig off of a 15 AMP service from the house is a bit problematic, but with care usually works. We currently use one RV battery. whats the likelihood that we will need two. Typically we are not in the trailer during the day and I assume we would be running the frig and water off of propane, at least when the AC would be on. Thanks

We actually have a help article covers your exact question of how much solar panel power does your setup need. I attached it to this page. It basically boils down to determining how much power you draw in an average day and then figuring out which setup is going to give you what you need.
