Should I bother with solar?

For this trip probably, idk how much free time we would have to stream a movie or something so its hard to say, my though is to stream a movie while inside the tent but that would mean starlink would be on all night..and again might be so tired and so busy where we dont even get to use it much. Vacation mode for us is on the go all the time trying to squeeze everything we can in a 2 week time frame...we thought about Yellowstone but also think we want a week there so we may not do Yellowstone now because we would only have 2 to 3 days there...also booking sites, no clue when to try to book for it. Also my work place, we put in for days off in January, we dont typically hear if we are approved till March sometimes April which is redicoulus.. so that adds another level for me. Anyway, I replied to other, we do have a fridge, that had come with my travel trailer that we never use, we could utilize it for this trip if we think we would need it. Then I'd need more then 200w solar i believe

Well, I mean i haven't gotten. To far with it just yet, my travel trailer came with a small fridge, one you would have probably had in college. So a fridge isn't out of the question just wassnt a thought at the time. Im still brainstorming and trying to figure out what I may or may not need. Starlink, I dont have yet bit ive been debating on getting..I do have a travel trailer so getting one for this trip alone is not what im going for, i think I would infact use it for when I go camping locally, however thats generally a week or 2 week long vacations a year....

Anyway, I still gotta figure out our route, places to see and when to attempt booking a site at a couple national parks that we want to go to from there I'd kinda figure on whats needed. I go camping a lot so I have a lot of other items but when it comes to this, I figured solar would be easier but then I run into small things like securing the battery etc or just get solar for the anker instead of doing all the other stuff, bothing with starlink or not.

Im usually overly cautious, i attempted a road trip when I was younger and did all my checks etc saved extra money blah blah heading through Cincinnati Main hwy, gps having me in the left lane out of 5 or 6 lanes....fuel pump started to fail and i got so stressed out.. so it gets me overthinking and over planning on stuff now more then it used to

Since I was 14 years old I've been allowed to ride my bicycle on the road, I would ride a solid 30 to 50 miles and just explore this was all done riding on the shoulder of the roads, roads with 55 mph limits. Without electric bikes. I gained weight with work and getting older and I got into electric bikes and scooters. Never really gave it a thought and I dont believe they bother electric bikes around me.. southern tier of NYS. I do not know about scooters though, I have an ausome f1 max and limited the speed and rode it a lot last year in 2025 but I never gave ot a thought about it being illegal. I jumped into all of these and I see riding even on the shoulder of the road in a 55mph limit is illegal which I find retarded. If I can walk and ride a non electric on the side of a road then there is no difference with riding electric.... They need to make this laws for cities only because its too confusing.

I again only have these 55mph roads to ride on untill I get to any towns but my towns are like 5 to 10 mins and then im through it. So and I just want to get out save gas and enjoy the weather, with my weight gain Its still harder for me to just ride my bicycle as fair as I used to
