We switched to two GC2 six volt batteries ( $85:/EA @ Sam's Club) wired in series last year and have really been happy. Also changed all lights to LEDs at the same time. I made it for eight days without recharging earlier this month and we ran our Maxx Fan each night for eight plus hours. It doesn't draw nearly as much as the furnace but the voltage reading on the last day was still over 12.4.
Fully charge your battery(ies) with the camper in your yard, crank up the thermostat to a few degrees above the ambient temp and check your remaining voltage after a few hours of cycling off and on.
