Are two Trojan AGM 12 v. Deep Cell Batteries (Model T-1275), each rated
for 280 min. @ 25 amps considered a fair amount of Capacity for
DryCamping in 40 f. outdoor temps. using the propane furnace 'at
nightime only' as well as the propane Dometic Fridge continuously.... in
conjunction with a couple of 12 v. indoor lights ???

Thanks.

I'd say that's a bare minimum to run the furnace any amount overnight.

REPLY: Well, i figure the 20 k. btu factory propane furnace i have in
my CLass C. 25' RV draws 20 amps DC whenever its running ; and if it
runs say....33% of the time for 8 hours overnight assuming 40 f. outside
temp... thats 2.6 hours of actual on-cycle time. My total battery
capacity is 280 minutes at '25 amps' , so, Im figuring 300 minutes at a
20 amp load . 300 minutes is 5 hours , so, wouldnt i have ample Battery
capacity under such conditions as described for overnight ??

Thanks.

REPLY: I can see youre not the person to have a dialogue with about
this ; If youre not willing to talk further about a subject in a civil
and rational tone , then , dont expect me to find you believable just
because YOU made a one-time declaration.

f.ck YOU, DAVE...
If you didn't like his answer, then why not go look up the information
yourself?
You're either too fukin stupid or too fukin lazy

You say: "dont expect me to find you believable just because YOU made
a one-time declaration" BUT you are ALWAYS making the EXACT same kind
of one time declarations like:

"Everyone believes that there has to be a personal almighty Creator"
or
"Because Human Beings are Moral Agents in that we know ,
intrinsically, what is absolutely
wrong and what is absolutely right..." or
By the way...everyone is a Creationist in the end. You will be one day
soon"

You only see that fault in others
Why?
Because you're SO much better than everyone else here, gay boy
