It's easy to figure out how much power you need. Just use an amp meter and turn stuff on.
If you drive less than 30 miles a day a roof covered with solar and a real MPPT type charge controller would be more than enough.
Keep the alternative unbelted and powered down, most of the time, then put the belt back on for long trips.
