My previous reply about running the generator and an electric heater underway was semi-serious. I was honestly wondering whether running the generator and an electric heater would be more convenient, maybe more cost effective, than using furnace, running out of propane, finding a propane dealer, etc. Of course you'd want to keep electric heater from turning over or igniting something, but most have turnover shutoff features. I'd expect that the dash heater plus dog jackets would keep the guys comfortable though.
As I mentioned earlier, the generator needs a monthly exercise run anyway so why not make it useful. If the trip distance isn't long enough for exercise period, I'll fire up generator/heater at home before leaving to get extra time. MH is nice and warm when we load final supplies and head out.
