Solitude 310GK question about solar panel instead of generator

[Pippamills]

We just purchased a 2021 new 310GK. We’re planning an 8 month road trip starting in the Fall - down south then up the east coast and across on the Trans Canada Highway. A giant loop back to the Seattle area. Our salesman is suggesting that instead of the 5500 watt lp generator we opt for a solar panel with a four battery storage pack that he claims will supply enough power to run the entire rig for 4 days including the ac. Anyone have experience of this? I’m not sure if it has something to do with the general shortage of generators (GD has apparently stopped installing them for now) and him maybe not wanting to honor his promise that we could have one (the unit was already prepped for it) or if it’s a viable alternative. The cost is about the same.

Also, we got an amazing deal on a washer/dryer combo and a dishwasher. Life of luxury! Any tips for using these? We are new to towing, having only crossed the country and made one other shorter trip in a 31ft C class.

Also, thanks to everyone for the advice on towing vehicle. We just ordered an F350 super duty which will probably take at least 3 months to arrive. Lots of time to get ready! Can’t believe we’re really going to do this. I’m combing this excellent forum for all your words of wisdom. So glad you’re all here.
