Furnace while boondocking.
For a 33' travel trailer, how much battery usage can I expect from the furnace? They are calling for low 40s over night and the women like it warm. The only site left was no electric so I booked it....

Time for a little break in this serious discussion -- our first trailer had almost no insulation. Went to Yellowstone in October. Temp one night dropped to 15. Temp in the trailer was below freezing. Of course the pipes froze (but later thawed).

This photo is not a trick photo -- we took the coffee maker out of the closet and the cord was frozen.
We did just fine, by the way -- did not run the heater at night -- slept under a down comforter and two blankets and slept very well!
