Roughly, how long should the battery last for the heat when boondocking? Have a generator onboard but not sure if I can expect to have enough power to fire up the generator in the morning???
It really depends on the size of your battery, how cold it is outside and how warm you like your camper to be. I have a pair of 90AH deep cycle batteries which will run my furnace all night.

X2. This really says it all.
Don't expect a single battery to get you through the night if it's cold.
Propane won't last but a couple days either!

If you only have a single battery in your Sandpiper, you need get at least a dual battery setup, if you plan on dry camping or boondocking.
