I am new to the whole RV experience, and looking to update/upgrade the 1978 Royale that I purchased. It is pretty much a blank slate, so the directions are boundless.

First question:
Assuming "boon-docking" was not an expectation, and if done would be accompanied with an external portable generator. Compressor type A/C a must, given I live in south/central Texas and the coast would be a common destination.

1. Would a bank of 4 to 6 quality deep cycle 12 volt batteries plus the house battery up front, be ample to run accessories and A/C unit while traveling?

2. Would some solar panels for in-route and passive charging be needed?
