You don’t get much power out of them, I have a 25 watt panel on my Deauville, it will help to maintain a charge when the vehicle is not being used for an extended time, but it won’t add a lot of power for day to day use unless you get a BIG panel (75+ watts)
Basically you have to consider watt hours a 25w panel adding a charge for 10 hours (assume bight sunshine) will add 250w. Turn on a 14 inch tv at say 50w and you burn that energy in 5 hours.
Reality is you rarely get 10 hours of sunshine in this country.
