I do like the freeze-dried meal ideas but the idea floated like a lead balloon with the other half. She did bring up the Costco pre-made meals as an alternative so we have something fresher and really tasty.

I am also torn on the heating now. On one hand, I have the RV furnace which would keep most everything warm however, do I need to spend so much propane keeping everything warm if I'm going to use it in a mostly winterized condition?

What is everyone's preference on furnace vs a couple of ceramic electric heaters or maybe a couple of catalytic based propane portable heaters? I see the drawback with a propane heater or furnace and humidity but I'd still be burning propane anyway running the generator for the electric generator. It feels like there should be a positive trade-off somewhere I may be missing.
When its really cold the propane furnace will eat up propane faster than a V-10 at 5000 RPM eats gas. On our first trip in our Axis it was 32F for the whole weekend and we burned through a tank of propane in just 2 days.

I would suspect that you'll want to use a combination of both electric and the furnace as it will just be too cold and you won't have enough blankets.
