Possible to run heat at night without killing your batteries

We have had this issue with all of our rigs we have owned. We camp with our Motorhome in the desert mostly and never have hookups. This time of year especially when it's cold we will run the furnace...

This will run all night on a tank of gas and is cheap, quiet. I have one because it is cheaper to run than a 5500 Onan unless I need more power.


The specs on that little thing list it as having a 91db sound rating! That isn't quiet in anyone's book. Maybe they are wrong on that as it does seem REALY high but then again, 2 stroke engines with almost no muffler can be really piercing.
