Hi,
Batteries act much like capacitor type accumulators. They "drag down" the voltage of the panel. Add that to the need for higher voltages in deep cold and no regulation is needed on a tiny system.
I would not bother tilting, I'd just do a 90 degree installation. Snow on the ground acts as a pretty good reflector for solar energy, so losses from non tilting are not much of a concern.
Where I live RV's are not covered for storage. There is too much wind for it to be a good thing.

I was not aware one could "float" their 6v's at 17+ volts, for 5-6 hours a day?
