traveling in a 5'ver at below 32 degrees
I will be traveling from PA south late this year into early 2014. I am living in my 5'ver so not winterized. I figure it will take me at least 5 days to get far enough south (Livingston TX) that temp...

As for heat, I'd run the generator only a few hours to keep the batteries charged, as it will gulp propane like a thirsty college student who just got his first keg of PBR.
Were I boondocking in a 5W for a while, I'd consider two things:
1: I'd seriously consider a Honda 2000 watt generator, or something similar coupled with an extended run tank. No, this won't fully power the rig, but it will be enough to keep the batteries charged. Save the propane for the furnace.
2: I'd also consider some skirting for the fifth wheel. Skirting will keep the wind from blowing underneath the tanks, and will give you some added outside storage space (not really secure from two-legged scavengers, but good enough for a lot of things.) Skirting will help if in one place for a few days.
