Hi,
I think you may be wrong about the size of the propane tank. 12 pounds is only a 3 gallon tank.
Since you are in a class C some heating can be done with the engine. If it is a V-10 then it won't mind idling for hours at a time. Set the heater to defrost and it will blow air back into the living quarters.
The generator is probably going to be a good source of charging. Be sure to run an electric heater to take off some of the load. You may as well max out what the generator can power--so if the water heater is dual gas and electric, run it too.
I can do three days of heating at -36 c (-34 f) before I needs must have propane. My tank is 60 lbs.
