The words solar ready unfortunately mean different things in the RV world. It could mean that you have everything needed but the panels or it could mean that you just have an access plate on your RV's roof or something in between those. I have included a help article that touches on the different possible things "solar ready" could mean. But, the best way to know exactly what you have in place, is to contact the RV manufacturer and ask what is included in their solar prep.
Since you are just wanting the solar panels for keeping the batteries charged in storage, a 1 panel kit like the Go Power Overlander Solar Charging System # GP39MR would be sufficient.
That being said, I have also linked a solar calculator. Using this solar calculator, you can put in information about the length of stay and what you will be using. This will allow you to know just how much solar power you are needing.
