Sounds like the genset is your only power source when camped.
If you are running a propane 2-way or 3-way fridge, then a 100 watt solar panel will be sufficient to keep the batteries at least topped off when other loads are used very sparingly.
I would recommend adding a 100 watt panel and simple pwm controller (to stay within your budget) when you replace your house batteries. This will extend the life of your new batteries, and require much less use of the genset, especially when you have plenty of sunlight.
