I am looking at doing a little bit of boondocking soon and have been thinking about going from 2 batteries to four. What do I want to be looking for to double my time (or more) with out the generator starting up all the time? But not going over to solar just yet.

Don, I am about where you are. My coach came with just the 2 house batteries, which I am pretty sure are originals (unit is a 2014). I plan on replacing them and when I do I was going to go with a 4 battery set up. My price point for each battery will be between $140 and $170.
I know with 4 batteries I won't be running air or much else. My desire it to be able to run the frig, a TV, water pump, and some lights for 12 hours without the gen set. If I can't then I will look at possibly a carry out solar panel.
I wouldn't get ahead of yourself. See what you can run and for how long on a 4 battery set up. Your needs may be different than mine as we rarely dry camp. If we do it is only a quick one night deal from about 6pm to 6am.
