I am not sure what you mean by "trading propane consumption for much longer gen run time".
If you use the RV furnace, you would not have to run the generator AT ALL during a power outage for heat. It would run off the battery, and use propane.
You would only need to run the generator to recharge the batteries if the power outage was very long. Most power outages are no more than a few hours, so you would likely not have to run the generator at all.
If you use electric heat, then you need to run the generator EVERY MINUTE the power is out.
