CJ,
When you supply more and acruate information, you can get better and faster answers.
1- What is your house bank and how old?
2- Will you be at a crampground or just hold up some where?
3- Do you have a generator?
We have been in this position more than a few times.
Our house bank is a pair of GC2s now, but it was not always.
Assuming we were someplace that was not restricted, I did this.
When the bank was less, I would start the genset after dinner and let it run until we were ready for bed. If you try to do this, have a very good CO monitor. The crumby little Gp31 (120Ah) supposed to be Deep Cycle (but was really not) would get us through until morning at 15°f. In the morning, everything would be dim or slow but as soon as I kick the Onan awake, that was fixed.
