[hitchup]

Update: Because of wet snow and Ice, we lost power at 8:45pm on Wed night. The batteries ran our furnace just fine through the night. By 2:30am, they were half strength, so DH started the generator to recharge batteries. After 90 mins, he shut off the generator and we were still warm and cozy all night running the furnace at 56deg.

It was a warm 35deg, so am sure that helped. By morning, the temp had only dropped slightly to 32deg.

By 8am, batteries had only gone down to 3/4. DH ran the generator until right before he left for work at 11:30am. A few minutes later, CG power was back.

It really sold me on the possibility of boondocking on an overnight stop!
