Exactly. That is the correct thing to do.
Not realy though, that only works if you also increase your daily usage.. for instance if I say doubled my 280AH on my camper for 560AH all it would do is let me go 18 days with out the solar producing at all instead of 9 days, the chances of that happening are close enough to 0 that it would just be a waist of money and equipemt. extra weight and so on. you have to decide how much reserve you need and if you don't have enough this would be a good idea but once it is topped up your in the same boat, so unless you plan to use that exra capacity its not realy that good of an idea.
