House batteries not up to ah rating
Bought 2 new Interstate SRM-24 group 24 RV/Marine batteries a few months ago. I have used the MH 4 times on trips lasting from 3-6 days. Never going below 40 amps before recharging. The rating is 85...

I think it's in order that DAS26 shares his operating parameters and equipment for recharging his poor batteries, while up in a National Park camping.
Last I heard, if I remember correctly, he's in a no win situation. Can't run the generator in the morning from 7 to 9 Am, when the batteries need it most, can't use the solar panels, he's parked under the canopy of forest and pine trees almost all day, his charge controller on the RV is sub par in voltage output, and maybe a few other things I am forgetting.
Not a good scenario for the batteries, but it is what it is.
