Side note my trailer has 3 batteries but I don't suspect the would run the furnace all night.
I installed the wave 6 heater this year in Oregon it worked flawlessly in the damp cool evening set on medium the wave uses no ele and very little propane. The monster forced air heater ran my 2 batteries dead the first winter at Quartsite.
