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?

The Snowbird brand truck camper we had before the 5er in 2003 was optioned for winter use. You ordered that package. It had the two inches of insulation and the double pane windows. Of course it didn't need a skirt or anything, being in the truck while camping.
ISTR there are East and West versions of trailers being made. Not too clear what the diff is. Maybe the West ones are more waterproof! :)
Ours just has the hot air going up to the bedroom, pass under the floor by the water tanks with some pink insulation amongst that, and the underbelly cover for it all.
The insulation under there is so thin I doubt it has much R value. That was supposed to be a big deal, but I doubt it is much better than having an open bottom for saving heat really. Probably the underbelly cover is more for keeping the wind off it where you lose a lot of heat rather than for static heat saving.
I don't know if the Canadian built trailers were more insulated. So many have gone out of business in the last few years, there might not be any now.
