Your fridge still uses battery even when on propane. Your water heater and pump use up the battery as well. Ken did a really good post on how much power everything uses, I can't remember if it was this thread or a previous one.
Your cheapest solution would be to get another battery. If you plan on dry camping a lot you may want to look into a generator, that will likely be cheaper than solar.
