You might want to double-check that your solar controller won't be (or wasn't) harmed by having the solar panels connected but the battery disconnected; some can fail under those conditions.
Thanks for the suggestion Drew. The breaker between the solar charge controller to the batteries only popped one time. When it did, I manually popped the breaker between the solar panels and the charge controller. Then I started by resetting the breaker to the batteries (...batteries always first) and then reset the breaker to the solar panels. All seemed to be working fine at that point.
Then later I replaced the 40 amp breaker that is between the solar charge controller and the batteries with a 50 amp breaker (turning them off/on in the right order). So when the RV left my place yesterday with my friend, all was working correctly (and the batteries were all charged).
