===Results===
Decided not to do the backroom on this trip. Not enough time.
We visited ABS Alaskan and got two new 6V batteries as well as a 35A controller that has superior power management capabilities. This should help the batteries have a better life span. Also learned a lot about the proper care and management of batteries, (and why the other batteries died so quickly).

Basically it was being overcharged by two sources, the feed from generated and a battery charger that was also hooked up the batteries.

Also learned it is very bad to use the inverters if the power level is low on the batteries as this will significantly decrease its life.
With a second controller we can set it up to prevent over usage of the batteries.

We hooked up a branch line on the water system and mounted a hose bib on the side of the house, so now we can use a hose to clean up.

Did a bit of trail cleaning and plan on doing some more alder cutting and possible wood retrieval.
