the 5-600 AH the panels can do tracking on a good summer day

How does one do this w/ 700 watts of panels ?
My 100 watt panels put out 5 amps max while tracking on a good day.
7 panels x 5 amps = 35 amps max.
35 amps x 8 hrs = 280 - 300 AHs per day,.....a very far cry from 5 - 600.
Where did I go wrong ?
I have 505 watts of panels
This time of year I avg 60+ amp Hrs.....aka 840+ watt hrs
The max charge I have ever received was just over 2000 watt hrs in July on the coast
Never have I read about an RV`r saying they got 600 amp hrs in a day
I think you have a typo confusing watt hrs and amp hrs
600 amp Hrs would be way over 7000 watt Hrs...approx 8000 watt Hrs
