My LQ only has one battery.  I do have solar panels which keep it 
charged but I'll bet if the battery is charged when you park and you are 
careful you'll be able to get through the weekend.  Lights and water 
pump are probably all your battery runs.  Do unplug from the truck 
though!  There's nothing more frustrating finding a dead battery just 
when you're ready to leave camp!
Good luck!
