I think he wants to do this for as little as possible. My opinion is to get a solar panel and controller FIRST. This way you can leave the cabin with partially charged batteries and return and they will be full. By far the most cost effective correction.

When you are THERE the panel will slow down the battery discharge a lot to boot. This will reduce generator run time.
Panel FIRST. Keep ALL the batteries. IMHO.
