Inverter/Battery life, off-grid feedback

I am asking for your experiences with camping off-grid, using battery power with Inverters.
I have a Magnum MS 2812 Inverter/Charger with 6 golf-cart batteries, I think the T-105? Sam's club.
I have been running a test all day today with a relatively light load of 35 D.C. amps.
Under real life day-night camping, how do the batteries hold up?
(I know how to calculate loads, and DC Amp-hours with wattage of my loads, I am asking for real-life stories.
Thanks!
