Using TV to charge battery

I am sure this has been asked before I just couldn't find it..... Anyways we will be doing a lot of dry camping this summer but no more than three nights at a time, I have replaced all lights with LEDs and have some battery operated ones to use for lights as well. Our history has been tent camping so having tons of light at night is not an issue in fact I will miss tripping over one of the dogs at 1am.... Early season we have our first four times out going to. Coe where we will have electricity ( early May).

So the question is if I plug the tv back in and let it run for say half hr will that help recharge batteries? Also someone mentioned that you should put the slide out before you unhook to save any and all power.

Thanks again Oh and can someone have a talk with Mother Nature this 4 ft of snow here is really a problem??

So how is 4' of snow a problem to a VT skier?

You will get very little charge from the tow vehicle. Even if you run it all day, the battery may still not be fully charged.
