With spring or fall camping at our seasonal site we often get temps in 20-30 degree range. I can keep the trailer at 67 degrees, but the furnace will run for 10 min and shutoff for 10 all night. Will the blower kill the battery in short order? Will it run it down so much you cant fully recharge it the next day? I was going to run a test and you can see how I failed with that I'd just like to get 5-6 hours of nap time if needed.


Thanx - Dean
I haven't checked it yet, but I thought you had to have 120VAC to run the furnace fan. But I may be wrong. If it will run off of the inverter, then I have learned something new today. This is my first camper with an inverter.
