With powered sites pretty much booked and difficult to find where and when to match your itinerary but often tent sites are available. The difficulty presented is of course your battery capacity - good for 1 night but questionable for two. Three and maybe four nights would our length of stay, and little interest in ac in our Cdn latitudes. The options currently under consideration are a 2000 watt generator or 200 amps of lithium. Has anyone been thru this and perhaps offer some advice ?

I also have about 260 watts of solar.

I have 305 watts of solar, 200 AH of lithium, and a 2500 watt generator.
I usually do 4 day boondock trips in Michigan and have yet to use the generator. On our last trip we had good sun and my batteries were back up to 100% by early afternoon each day.

A 400 launched in 2019. The two 6v agms are now in their 7th year. The fridge is the small 12 v. Solar I think is about 200 watts. Hopefully a 200 or 230 LiTime can be dropped and mostly charged with the existing charger and topped up with the existing solar. Maybe too simple …

I also have a Four Wheel Camper pop up on my truck and I can tell you that I "ALWAYS" have my Honda 2000 generator with me as back up. I don't use it often but where we go off the beaten path, I am always prepared with back up power.
I rely on Lithium right up until I need electrical power and then am very glad to have the generator. Another poster commented about it being a $1000 dollar paper weight but it is worth it's weight in gold if you are out there and need it. What is that saying about it being better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it...?
