You certainly can do the ski resort thing with some adjustment to the 
norm. Typically the 12V battery, being in good condition and charged, 
will run a furnace over night. We do it every year at the Sun Valley 
Jazz Festival Rally, usually running two or more coaches on one generator.

You might want to consider setting the furnace a little lower say 60ish. 
This will keep everything, at least in a classic trailer, warm. The 
Safari's and Bambi's are not set up for full use in cold weather because 
their tanks are exposed or nearly so.

Run a generator for battery charging during the day. Since you will just 
be battery charging a small generator is more than adequate. A two 2000w 
generator setup would only be needed for high draw appliances like a 
heat pump/air conditioner.

You also might come up with some scheme to secure the generator to your 
trailer, say with a chain and some locks. That bright colored, very 
portable genset will make a tempting target.
