Powered-up and ready to go!!!

Last weekend I added a 15 watt solar panel to the roof. Just something to provide a little power when we boon-dock. We don't plan on doing much of it this year but I thought I'd try it. I got a good controller so I can add more in the future. The worst part of the job was getting the wires from the controller to the batteries. My 5'r has a covered underbelly making the job a challenge. I had 2 6 volt batteries and have been disappointed in their stamina. It seems like they would drop to 12 volts overnight with only the porch light on. Today I added 2 more 6 volt batteries. Any hints on making the batteries last longer? BTW, we're only 36 days from full timing. Can't wait.
