I would try blocking off more of the flow to forward registers. Eventually you will find the right balance between front and rear.

With dual batteries, you should be able to run a couple of days of heat without issue. If you need to top off the batteries with the generator for a few hours, make sure your charger is upgraded to one that has real charging modes verses some of the cheap chargers that are OEM in the RV's. Since you camp in the desert, solar would be a good option to keep your batteries charged during the day so they can be tapped at night. Others will give you advice on scaling the panels for the battery capacity you are trying to keep charged.
