There is a good chance you had already depleted the batteries quite a lot
with tv , stereo , heater and other things before going to bed , those
things soak up a lot .
You will learn to modify the elect use and run the gen before bed time
It will probably be necessary run the gen for 2hrs , 4 hrs or even longer
depending on the elect used .
It is much different from being plugged in but in time you'll adjust .
The heater will most likely be you on going problem , the fan motor
is a power hog .
Depending on where you are boondocking ( noise ) just run the gen all night if
it's cold or hot .
We have done it many times after all that's why we have the gen .
