Colder weather camping

i have 2 x 40lb tanks (an extra 20lb over most standard RV tanks). Propane would be mostly dedicated to the furnace and WH. Cooking is mostly outside and off a separate, smaller tank.

.. I currently have a dual 12V system with 135 watts solar. That may not be enough to run a furnace all night. However, wouldn't I only have to set it high enough to keep things from freezing (e.g. 40, 50 deg?).

I'd hate to run a generator at night,.

I carry 4 30lb (5 gallon) tanks. In cold weather you should carry more than you do. Propane exchanges are expensive but darn handy should you need them.

40 or 50 deg would work for the pipes, but what about you? Can you get out of bed to those temps? How do you plan on keeping warm in bed?

You don't want to run a generator at night.
