I have a 2022 5th wheel. A sticker says “wired for solar”. I am considering moving to a permanent Park where I pay electricity. How much should I budget to get my unit running, or at least helping out, with solar power?
 
You might look at Tito's video on the topic. He is a wealth of information.

 
If you want to be totally off the electric grid, $20,000+.

Solar won't pay for itself. When I stayed at Casa Grande for two winters where we pay for electricity I tried using solar to offset costs. It's not worth it. In the end the electricity is not that expensive.
