My Generator is a Smarter Tools 9500W Generator (7500 rated watts). Our group usually has 2 or 3 campers using the generator during the night.
If you have 3 trailers hooked to the generator producing 7000 watts, each camper should be able to run one 1500 watt heater and keep the battery supplying 12 volt needs at each trailer. Keep the generator running all night (maybe take turns refilling fuel during then night), watch the length and gauge of cords to the trailers, and be mindful of 12 volt draws to keep converters from drawing too much from the generator.
Using this strategy, you will be comfortable all night. Maybe bring some extra propane bottles, and let the propane furnace run too!
