Lots of variables.. what size battery? State of charge at start? How cold outside? windy? how warm inside?

I would say.. try the first night, be prepared to sleep chilly in case, and then you will know the answer for the 2nd night and can plan accordingly.. Or.. if you have the camper at home, tonight, unplug, turn the heat on, check back in the morning....

I am about to set out on a 2 day drive with our new RPOD 192.  Can I count on the battery running the fan on the heater over-night?  It is definitely going to be chilly.  I haven't used the trailer without being plugged in yet and I have no instinct for how long I can count on the battery.

I'll pay for hook-ups somewhere if its questionable.
