Campfire. The BIG DEAL in minimizing hotel load.
Campfire until 10PM. Wienies, marshmallows, stories, games.
Eat and do chores during the daylight. Flashlights for bathroom runs. Daylight showers.
When the sun sets, only one light BULB permitted on at a time.
You need BLANKETS, thermal underwear for the kids, sweaters, coats and gloves. I spent half my childhood 73 miles northwest of Yellowstone, and even in high summer it can get damned cold after sunset in the summer.
Kids love to play with the lights in a RV. After campfire, the adults are the ones the control the bedroom or sofa lights. Give them flashlights and rechargeable batteries. Use a cigarette lighter charger to breathe new life into the batteries.
I first saw Yellowstone at age nine. I saw my first Grizzly bear at age nine. At night. I was about twenty feet from the motel door. My dad exploded "There aren't any grizz... gangway...hello front office, there is a grizzly bear across the road" The rangers responded fast the bear hauled bootie.
Ask your neighbors about the bears. No doubt it is different now than it was 63 years ago.
Anyway, used super frugally, a battery can go a long time if misered.
Tell the kids you're playing "Pioneer Family" up and down with the chickens.
If you use the heater even for a few hours it draws so much battery your plans will be thwarted.
