Battery power in fall
Would I be able to get two nights out of my heater plus some lights on battery power? It's a 30 foot trailer

General rule of thumb for using Furnace on Propane and running Furnace Fan from the battery is ONE NIGHT - ONE BATTERY...
The Furnace FAN will draw somewhere around 5-6AMPS DC Current and if this is on all night long it just barely has enough capacity to make it until daylight... There will another 1-2 AMPS being drawn all the time with battery called parasitic drains as well.
Changing over to LED lights will help out big time as each automotive incandescent 12V light bulb will draw 1AMP DC current. Changing this buld to LED lightning the power drain will be improved by 80%...
At least carry a second fully battery along with you even if it isn't hooked up...
