Does Furnace Run on DC Power??
A friend and I are planning a trip where we might have to stay overnight in a parking lot the first night in. We both have TTs. Can we run our furnaces off of DC Power?

We found out in 2011 while in Yellowstone National Park in November, that we had to have the heat turned down to 50 at night, or the 2 batteries would be dead by 2am. We learned to snuggle under the comforter, and turn the heat back up in the AM.
As a NewB in '08 we were at Madison CG, it got down to 30F, so we ran the furnace at about 65 all night, sometime in the early AM, DW noticed that the furnace was no longer running, granted, it was only 2 27 series batteries, but they were dead in the morning,
As a side note, this is also where I learned about the Altitude adjustment on the Onan generator. :B
