Does the furnace fan use a lot of electricity? I only have one battery. It won't run all night but would run some. Going to the Smokey's late October
 
It doesn't run full time, but will need charging. I charged my battery every day for 30 min. But more importantly is to get the volts back to over 12v. 12.5 is normal. My battery would only go down to 11.5/11.8 over night.

Always have a multi-meter while on your trip

Making your trlr more airtight with pool noodles helps significantly.
 
Thanks I'm going to get the portable propane heater. I have a multi-meter I need to learn how to use it.
 
If you go to a campground with electric hookups take a small electric heater. Set it on a safe place, such as, on the stove. We have one of the little cube ceramic heaters and it does a fine job of keeping us warm. When boondocking I set the furnace thermostat at 55 and throw on a couple extra blankets at night. Also, crack a window and a roof vent to reduce condensation from building up inside.

When boondocking never let the battery go below 12.0 volts, or 50% charge, to help prevent reducing battery life.
