How long can electronics be used when not plugged into an RV site?

We recently bought a eurovan and were wondering when it's not plugged into an electrical outlet at an RV site, how long can we use electtronics like portable stereos, dvd players, laptops etc. be used when powered from the coach battery?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hackey..

It depends on what you are running...

i.e. running only some lights and music = days on end

laptop.. 2-3 days..

running furnace blower constantly (i.e. below zero).. you'll drain battery in about 24 hours..

Tip on the furnace... run the engine on cold night and use heaters to get internal temp where you want it... then set thermostat on furnace... it'll hold that temp well.. but blower will cycle on and off frequently...
