Cold-ish weather camping

We are headed up to WY in a little over a week and will be boondocking for 5-6 days. The weather forecast is 65-70 during the day, but dropping to 30-32 at night. We have tank heaters available, do we need to use them or should we be OK since it's not prolonged cold weather and we will be using the furnace?

    Lows of thirty and up don’t concern me. Considered solar to recharge those batteries?

    You will need more than one battery or a small generator.....the furnace will eat a single battery a night. Or get a Mr. Buddy Heater.

    Thank you! It's our first prolonged boondocking trip with this new rig so just wanted to make sure all ducks are in a row and we come as prepared as we can :)
