Also, if you are dry camping, what pipes will freeze? Turn off the pump then release pressure - if any by opening the faucets. Do this just before going to sleep.
You have battery, propane and a furnace, use it. You bought the rig to be comfortable not huddle around a lantern or a propane heater that can kill you. (especially at altitude)

Why use the propane I must buy when the electricity is included with the cost of my camping pass. Usually when I dry camp I do it on days when no heat is needed and if I do need some I just run the furnace at bedtime and get it nice and hot in there and then shut it off.
