On our first trip the overnight temps got down to the lower 30s so I left the furace on all night. When I went to start the generator in the morning there was not enough juice left to kick it over. I hooked my tow vehicle to help charge up the battery and within minutes I had the generator running. With my SOB (did not have a generator) trailer I switched from 2 12 volts to 2 6 volt batteries and the change was great and allowed us more time for boondocking between battery charging. I was going to put these 2 volt batteries into our new road warrior but then I thought about starting our generator. As the 12 volt has cold cranking amps and is normally used for starting vehicles, I'm curious about starting the generator after running the furnace overnight with the 6 volt batteries. Do they have enough juice in them to start a generator on cold mornings? I would appreciate any advice or comments
