I would suggest having the batteries tested. They could just be "tired". You don't say how old the batteries are, but they do have a limited lifespan. Our two group 24 batteries are on their third season and we find they are holding up well even on cold nights when we run the furnace enough to keep our Cougar at about 58.
Any auto parts store can test your batteries and let you know if they have fallen below their optimum operating capacity. I can tell you when we change ours, we'll upgrade to the group 27 size battery.
Power use/consumption is key issue but testing the batteries will let you know if you need to conserve more than you already are.
