Have a wonderful time on your first trip! Check back and give us details.

Thanks for the tip! If I run it set to 50 degrees all night, will it use a negligible amount of propane? I am leaning this direction, even though we just got the motorhome so I am still learning about everything and I haven't even spent the night in it yet.
Maybe an 1/8th of a basic hard mounted tank but you shouldn't burn thru the tank with the thermostat set to the lowest temp. Easy enough to to off when you head out later in the week. The furnace blower is a bit of a DC power hog so plug in and keep the batteries charged.
I'm voting with the "propane furnace" replies! You have electricity you plan to plug in, so no issue with battery depletion.
To the topic of winterizing a washer, visit the Splendide website and download the free winterizing instructions. You may need them in the future.
