You need an ammeter to really know what is going on.
However, you do know your 6s want 14.8 volts at 77F for proper charging , so your 14.2 or even if you get it to 14.4 no loss, is going to be a limiting factor in how long the 6s last (Although not necessarily a big deal budget wise in comparison between say 3 years and 5 years or whatever when you annualize the costs.)
In hot weather 14.8v equivalent is less in voltage amount, so if you keep camping where it is hotter than most if us could stand :) it might get closer to the specified amount temp comped, once you get closer to 14.4 at the batts at 77F by improving your R on the pos and neg paths (or at least one of the paths.)
