Amy - That is a small fuel tank. Do you also carry gerry jugs ? Since you already know you need 70 amp hours replaced daily. The SolarStik won't be up to the job, by the company's own testing. You won't get better than their test results. So come the winter, you will need to add additional solar, or add a wind generator, or add a portable generator or run the diesel engine driving your alternator. So you should evaluate your situation and budget accordingly.
To my jaundiced eye with the Solar Stik, you will be paying quite a bit for an optimized panel mounting device, I would wonder if you can extend its capacity in the near term (to deal with your perceived shortfall). When you find the reality of your true usage, its my guess that your needs will be even greater than you currently think. Good luck in ferreting out the issues.
The reason I bought the Pep Boys genset was basically to save money. While I knew that the Honda was the preferred and recommended genset, I could buy 3 Pep Boys gensets for the price of the cheapest Honda model and still have $100 bucks left in my pocket. Plus a heavier anchor when it dies.
