Battery drain
I have 2 interstate batteries SRM 24 deep cycle batteries. Have the VictronConnect bmv712 battery monitor. Had to leave our camper sit for 4 days without charging and drew batteries down to 11.6volts...

Are the Duracell deep cycle batteries? They say deep cycle in the case? I read somewhere that they were made by Deka which is a good company?
There are very few 12v true deep cycle batteries out there and they are expensive. Most people use 2 6v golf cart batteries, available at Costco or Sam's, for "light" boondocking. With 200w, or more, of solar, you're good just about indefinitely. Hard core 'dockers might go with 4 batteries or go whole hog and use Trojan T-105s. One guy posted pics here of his battery bank that was 6 2v batteries. He had something like 400 or 500w of solar. :B Then there's lithium...
