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...

Despite anything else what you posted.is WAY too much voltage drop between the alternator output terminal and positive battery post. Alternator to battery connections need to be DIRECT with a separate (6) AWG wire or larger. Again right from the alternator output terminal to a appropriate size fuse near the engine then on to a management device right to a bus bar. This means having TWO wires connected to the output stud of the alternator
There is too much voltage loss in a chassis connection unless you have a newer vehicle with factory 6-gauge chassis wiring connecting the alternator to the chassis power split which is usually made within the factory chassis wiring harness. Use the alternator output stud as a starting point. It will make all the difference in the world charging-wise.
