How long can you stay in an RV without power?

How do you get by without hook-ups in an RV?
As long as we drive a bit every 3 days or so, our battery holds plenty of power for our requirements – lights, radio, water pump, ceiling fan (and furnace as long as it’s not constantly running). The stove is propane and we always run the fridge on propane as well. Hope this is somewhat helpful.
What does it mean when your RV has no power?

Why does my RV get no power when plugged in?
Sometimes your RV gets no power, even when it’s plugged into a shoreline power source. This could be because of any of the electrical components within your RV: the wires, outlets, circuit breakers, or transfer switch. You’ll have to test each component one by one to diagnose the issue.
Are there any truck stops that accept RVs?
Yes, truck stops that welcome over-night travelers can be found on most major highways, but don’t get in a jam by assuming you and your RV are automatically welcome. This is Part 5 of the 6-part series “Cheap and Free RV Camping You Will Love!”
