If you do a search on the caravan section for solar panel or solar power you will find lots of threads that will help you.
Any appliance that heats, such as a kettle or fridge, uses too much power to make it viable to use 12v batteries and solar power. Use gas for the fridge, kettle and hot water.
A 12 volt tv used for a couple of hours each evening plus 12 volt lighting (converted to led) and a water pump should be fine with a decent battery and a 100 watt panel in summer but you would struggle in the winter especially if it is overcast for days on end.

PS We are still searching for a 12v alarm clock, we have resorted to a clock using AA batteries. If anybody knows of a 12v clock please let us know where to source one.
