The calculator came up with 198 AH, discharging to 50 %. 12 amps for 5 hours.

The bottom line is the manufactures don't supply enough battery for boondocking in cold weather.

I read that those propane heaters can't be used inside the trailer....Portable Big Buddy says not to use it indoors right on the package. How do you do ventilation for them?

Thanks twinboat, I think I get what you are saying now.

Actually, I just checked their docs online and the Mr Heater Buddy series are suitable for use in the camper. They are one of the few that is. You need to provide suitable ventilation, but they are safe for use indoors.

Here's what they say:
"Emergency Heat, Tents, Campers, Workshops, Job Sites, Porches, Patios, Decks, Garages, Storage Buildings, Picnics, Tailgate Parties, Construction Trailers, Sporting Events, Barns, Sheds, Hunting Blinds, Shelters, Ice Fishing Shanties"

I believe Mr Buddy has different packages, one for the US that says what you posted, and one for Canada that says what the OP said.
