Expectation of heater overnight
On a chilly Southern California desert night with temps in the low 40s, should I expect that my heater will pump warm air all night without draining my battery to "weak" levels. My batteries are newer...

Let me try again, Dedmiston.
I have dual batteries. New batteries. Whenever I run my heater, within minutes the propane detector begins shrieking. From what I can tell, the amperage drop of .1 amps is what triggers it.
I'm open to hearing about a solution for this problem.
Ugh. I love/hate the detectors in RVs. I'm grateful to have them looking out for us, but they give as many false results as true ones.
We had an issue with our LP detector last week. I don't know why this worked, but pressing the Wizard Mode Button in my breaker panel made it go off. I wouldn't expect that to solve your problem though.
The detectors can go off from low voltage, but typically the smoke and CO detectors go off too. They also just go bad. They're tricky to replace, because you need to find an RV detector that runs off 12v and it needs to fit the same sized hole as the old one.
