Penny: 128 watts solar is very useful for what you describe with a quality controller (I would recommend a Morningstar 10 amp sun saver for those panels). What you describe is fairly minimal power use age especially with LED lights. With 2 batteries you should be able to easily go a long weekend even using the furnace.
It was only a few years ago that 128 watts solar would have been considered a fairly large system. I use to have 125 watts with twin 6 volts and could easily go a 3 day/2 night weekend tailgating football games without going below 50% SOC on battery bank. Best thing was I could the FW in storage after the weekend and batteries were fully charged and ready to go again 2 days later.
