Not sure how much your furnace is running at night but if it is running very much that of course is a significant load. What are your objectives? Do you want to go more than a day between charging? You did not give the battery group size so not sure if you even have a gr 27.
We manage nicely with a single Trojan SCS 200 (Gr 27 115 AH 12V) battery dry camping for over a week in the Smokies during chilly fall weather.

Regardless of what battery you have you need to be sure it is in good condition and can hold 12.6 V for at least 24 hours after a full charge and no load.
