How long will single battery last with heater running?
We may have our first opportunity to dry camp mid winter for one night. Do I stand a chance of surviving on a single deep cycle 12V battery, or should I just plan on buying my first i2000?

Depends on the size of the camper; the smaller the camper then the less the heater will cycle on/off. I have a 27ft and can't make it for a 24 hour period
on one battery.
I purchased a "Buddy Heater" - small propane heater with a 1lb tank. I use this as a supplemental heater while awake (keep the vent open slightly); When i go to bed I switch the heater off - use an extra blanket to keep warm.
Purchased a generator a few years ago to give me piece of mind that I will never run out of electricity. This year I converted to Solar - so far so good.
