If you leave out the induction cooktop, I feel certain she can get by with 200 watts of portable panels, 300 if flat and roof mounted.
Induction cooktops are fine at home...or IF you have PLENTY of solar power, but in a small vehicle with limited solar, it will not work well.
She should buy a small propane or butane stove and not try to heat or cook with solar powered electricity (PV).
A 100 ah lithium OR 200 ah of lead acid will be plenty, and carry her thru a few days of cloudy/rainy weather.
She will need to camp in sunshine from then on, camping in the shade of big trees will not work well UNLESS she can carry 200 watts of solar panels out into the sun.
