As has been stated probably hundreds, if not thousands of people have discovered the same thing. You say your RV is supposedly set up for solar panels. Ok....great.....but are there solar panels installed? "Set up for" only means there is a wire running to an outlet somewhere to plug solar panels into.
You have 2 "Tampa Bay" batteries. Tampa Bay Batteries is merely a retail store that sells batteries. The Tampa Bay sticker on the battery only indicates that it was purchased from that store and says nothing about the battery itself.
First step is to install a battery monitor. I installed this one from Amazon:

I just cut a hole in the top of my plastic battery box (2 1/8" hole saw) and mounted it right there. 10 minutes job (and you need a jumper to go from the shunt to the negative battery terminal).
Figure exactly how much 12-volt electrical load you really have.
