We've never had an issue having adequate power to charge our cell phones.  I got a combination usb and 12v plug to charge cell phones and such.  It is also handy to monitor your battery voltage.  We use a small inverter for charging the mac and plug the phones directly into the usb's via the charging cables.  Here's what we got from Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MTBXHEV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hope you enjoy your Pod

We use a 100W solar panel for almost all of our energy needs when we camp in the mountains.  The panel we have is a flexible one that we can move around to follow the sun and keep it out of the shade of the trees.  So far, our experience with the solar system is that it effectively meets all our power needs.  I should say that we are minimalists when it comes to using electricity.  All our lights are led, we have no electronics in our Pod such as a tele and we rarely use the heater which doesn't use all that much power anyway.  Our biggest power requirement is to charge cell phones and my Mac laptop and a small portable wifi speaker.  The only thing I would do differently in regard to the solar system is that I should have gotten the suitcase style 100W panel with the built in controller.

In the mountains where we both camp, there is plenty of unobstructed sunlight, save a little shade from trees, so the solar panel can work at pretty high efficiency.  Overcast and rainy days are minimal and really don't impede the solar system from a practical point of view.  It is likely that most of your camping will be above 5,000 ft elevation so the chances of having it so hot that you can't live w/o AC is minimal.  You may find it a little on the warm side in the afternoon, but as soon as the sun drops behind a mountain, with the open windows and the exhaust fan in the head you'll find it very comfortable inside.  

I'd suggest trying the solar only to start with and see how that goes. Do also consider getting a dual battery system though. Best is 2 6V golf cart type batteries (GC2 case size). Those are the largest size that will fit in on the tongue rack.  That will get you through a few cloudy days if you're careful, or a few days camping under trees.

If you can get by without the A/C unit and the microwave, then a 100 watt solar panel, and compatible solar controller, hooked up to your battery, and maybe a small inverter for a few small 120v items should be good enough. 

What OffGrid said.  You need at least a 2000w generator to run the air.  3000 is better.  My Yamaha 2400isch has been great.  Watts pretty much equals pounds, so more watts can get hard to deal with.

Quiet hours are for real and some campgrounds don't allow generators at all, at least on some loops.  Aside from that, a lot of other campers hate people with generators.  Find one that is as quiet as possible.  You'll appreciate it too.

A generator is really only much good for the air and the microwave -- and keeping the battery charged.  A 100 w Renogy Solar Suitcase will keep your battery charged as long as you camp in the sun.

You can get a 400w inverter that plugs in to a 12v outlet to run a lot of AC things for a short time.  Charging cell phones, etc., is best done with straight 12v.
