i wasn't specifically suggesting that wattage, all depends on need/usage/size of battery, etc.

i threw my original trailer system (panel and battery only) together on the cheap just for use with the 12V trailer lights, but as guests asked to use it with their 120V toys (like radios, laptop computers, iPad speakers, etc) i then picked up a $20 inverter. the rest is history.

i bought my 35 watt solar panel used for $50 but a quick google popped up new panels like this one for $107:
