Yep, you need more than a 1.5W solar charger. If you camp the way you are all the time then it`s time for a good solar setup.
I use a 2W (500Ma/.5A) solar charger (more of a maintainer) for my battery whenever the trailer sits. the front of the trailer faces the south and the charger is mounted to the propane tank cover at a 45deg angle. I no longer come back to a low battery.
