If you are having to do an evening charge with the generator then the solar system isn't set up right. Unlesss you are using a ton of Ah a properly setup solar system shoud get you through the night.

Do you think the fact my house batteries are original in this 07 Discovery might have something todo with the evening charge? LOL
Seriously, I'm aware that the house batteries are the issue. I'm looking to get a proper AC driven charger before investing in new batteries.
Thanks for the post.
If your batteries lasted that long using the 14.2v then you can ignore the 14.8 spec IMO. That makes the 14.8 "nice to have" but not vital.
Yes get the Sam's 6s and start over but do your gen time earlier and let the solar do the rest , including whatever 14.8 time you get before dark.
You don't need new equipment IMO.
