Solar Charging Empty Solar Charging

I'm thinking of getting some form of solar panel to keep the battery/batteries on my 2008 Cali charged up. It's not always possible to guarantee electrical hook-up when travelling round Europe and we sometimes find ourselves staying a few days in one place without moving the van. Generally our need for electricity isn't great when on site but there's always a call for phones, iPad or DVD players to be charged up!

I'm torn between a small dashboard-mounted (and inexpensive) job and something bigger mounted on the roof.

Has anyone got any experience of the two, who could share their thoughts ab out the pros and cons?
