Good advice listed above, especially the reference to get a battery monitor installed. With a decent monitor, such as a Trimetric, you won't be guessing how much battery power you are using and how much you have left. Another option is the Hidden Power option from Torklift, which would essentially double your battery reserve. Having matched batteries (model & age) is also helpful for longevity. All this adds up to more cash outlay, but will allow you to spend more time off the grid.
First thing I did when faced with this situation was to get a Trimetric monitor so I could see where my big loads were coming from and how my charging system was working. As noted, post up with specific questions, as someone on this forum has surely run up against the same thing and can offer some sound advice.
