Does anybody drive the Alcan in the winter...is it open? Steve's advice is good. If you have the under hood fuse in your truck, the truck battery will charge the TV battery. Some posters on the RV forum use chains on the trailer to help with braking. I have not tried it, don't ever plan to...can you wait for spring? I've posted this before, but here it is again, it might help:

Each gallon of LP gas produces about 91,500 BTUs of heat energy. A typical seven gallon container will provide about 640,500 BTUs of heat energy. Here is a list of typical appliance consumption when turned on full for one hour of operation:

Water heater: 12,000.
Refrigerator: 1,500.
Furnace: 20,000.
Oven: 14,100.
Each burner: 5,600.
