Can anyone tell me if it is okay to leave the heater on all night with just the battery power? I didn't expect to have such cold weather and I am on my first trip with my new/used rv...it is a small Chinook. Should I leave the generator on, too? I am not sleeping in it...I put some antifreeze in the waste tanks, but I am concerned about the water heater and water pump and other lines that are not winterized..HELP!!!! I am a long ways from home and by myself (single grandmother)...no, I am not crazy...!!

Other than running the coach batteries down due to the heater's blower motor running, it shouldn't hurt a thing. You can recharge the batteries with the generator during daylight hours.
