You can either reduce your consumption or increase your battery capacity, or do both.
On a 2004, you could change your lights to LED and change your TV and stereo to 12v native units and remove an inverter. With the refer in gas mode, and having LED lights, 12v TV and use of the water pump, I can get by fine on one battery in 24 hours. The furnace blower will kill it pretty quick - overnight is iffy, same with refer in 12v mode.
If you have room for a second battery, I'd go with 2 group 31 batteries - that would give you about 200 ah total, or around 100 ah useable. That would get you thru 2 or 3 days fairly easy.
