House battery charging & discharging

thank you so much for all the great suggestions you gave me.
My RV is 2009 Four Wind Duchman, I brought it new in 2010. The house battery came with it, never replaced. I left out one important thing though, which is I hired a company to install a solar panel on top of the roof along with two extra batteries in 2011, on sunny day( I live near San Diego, we got great sun power), it was good but I wish I had two solar panels with 4 extra batteries, but on cloudy days, I got very little electricity, that was the reason I turn to house battery to keep me warm at night.( temperature dropped to 30-40 degree). I never figure out what is the real supplier behind it, is it the solar? or generator? or combined?
The Solar company since moved away and I don't have any contact with them. I was wondering.... because of the solar installation, does the solar batteries took over the house battery function? or they work together to supply the 12-volt appliances inside the coach(light, heater, fan....)?
How do I find this out without going to a RV-shop? I am keep it up with my reading of the RV material and I do appreciate all your help and suggestions, what a group of RV lovers with big hearts!!
