If you only have an indifferently charged Group 24 battery you'll be lucky to get thru the first night. Parasitic electrical loads in the trailer will discharge the battery to dead in two weeks. Charge and disconnect the battery before putting it away between trips; charge at least overnight before the next trip.

chuck s,
As I stated earlier I already dry camped overnight in the same conditions that will be doing this weekend but for 2 days this time.as I stated before I already did it for 1 night .started at 1100 am till next day at checkout at 1200 noon.the battery was at 2/3 when leaving.i don't understand why everyone keeps saying I will barley make it overnight? I already did it overnight with absolutely positively no problems And I left the cg with 2/3 battery!!!!i wasn't worried about the battery at all it was i
Only the propane.which was resolved.

I don't understand the hostility??
You came in here and asked for opinions. Nobody can state with absolute fact how long your possibly 1/2 and 1/4 filled 20 pound tanks will last. (Yes we now know that you have since put a little effort into figuring this out yourself and we now know one tank is full)
You also state that you camped for a night and used very little battery and propane. Of course we should just believe you when you say you used little propane since at the time you really didn't even know how much you actually used.
Batteries are funny when it comes to actual usage time. Since your 1 night trip used 1/3 of your battery, it's safe to assume that after 2 nights of use, you will have only used 2/3 of the battery, right? Problem with that is that a battery does not just use up all of its stored energy. The last 1/3 doesn't really get used and as your battery level gets lower, things will not work as well. You may not have enough juice to power the furnace fan even though the battery level indicator reads 1/3.

Filling the tank you thought was 1/4 filled would have ensured you have enough lp.
A way to charge the battery (just in case) would ensure you have enough battery.

Since all you really came in here to hear is that you will be fine on your trip......
You have nothing to worry about, the battery and propane you have is plenty enough for a 2 night trip that is only twice as long as your 1 night experiment.

Have a good trip.
