2 large solar panels tells us nothing. How many watts? What charge controller?
You have been deep cycling the batteries by taking them to 11.8 volts. They will most likely need to be replaced.

we had two large solar panels installed because we also do a lot of dry camping.
I currently have 4 Interstate 6v Deep Cycle, 232ah batteries that we purchased in late 2014.
After installing the solar I thought our issues would be solved but my volts seem to follow the sun going down, to around 12.2, from a full 14.7 during the day. Is this normal? Shouldn't they remain higher? We run our inverter during the night for a sleeping machine and in the morning we're typically around 11.8v and have to fire up the generator to get things moving again.
