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?

2 6-volt golf cart batteries would be a good investment for camping mid-winter and running the furnace with blower. But . . .
Depending on the type of RV you have, camping mid-winter in Michigan is probably not a good idea. If you have a well-insulated 4-season camper, you may be okay, but most are not meant to endure potential sub-zero temperatures without something (such as water lines) freezing and causing misery.
I've camped in early spring and late fall in the mountains here in WV in a regular TT. The single digits is as cold as I ever want to experience, and then only on very rare occasions. In spring and fall, I can count on those cold spells being of brief duration before things can thaw.
