It is unbelievable how inexpensive an auto Gen start is.
I THINK a whisper 4000 onan is a three wire hookup spliced into the coaches normal start button.

That won't cure all of the ills but it'll charge your depleted batteries without you having to be there and do it again and again. AND they can be thermostatically controlled to kick your ac or heat on if you're not there.

Something to keep the fridge running is the perfect use for solar.
