Don't want to go to 6V system, will stay with 2 12V's.

I got a interstate 29 series from Costco. Normally for my boats I get the 31 series premium from Walmart. I don't boondock so running off a battery isn't much of a problem for me. If it was I would go 6v for sure.
Batteries when they get old don't hold up to cold very well. Its also possible you are bleeding power somewhere. Maybe unhook the battery or put in marine on off switch. I let mine sit for a month at a time in Chicago with no battery issues and my 4 boats (which is 10 batteries) sit all winter again with no battery drainage. A big no no is the battery being in a discharged state for long periods of time.
