Dry camping, battery idea?

Use 2 6volt deep cycle batteries and you should be good or close enough. If you get too many days of poor sun and batteries get down you could add some charge with jumper cables (or just get a slightly larger solar panel like 140 watts)
How long would the truck have to idle to goose the battery back up, say from 50% to 100%. Can I direct connect the cables up to the 2 6 volt batteries? (That question pretty much shows my electrical knowledge!)
Also, how can I get a frequent and accurate reading of what state of charge my battery is in. I'm trying to avoid the expensive meter that has been mentioned. Any suggestions on a decent reasonably-priced hand-held?
