You can't directly tell from the CA and CCA ratings but that sounds like a battery that is about 100 AH. Knock 30 % off so the battery is never fully drained and lives longer, divide that 70 AH by the 2.8 amps, and the battery will last about 24 hours running the heater fan all the time. Reduce that by whatever else you want to run. I doubt that the heater fan runs all the time, more likely only when the heater is making heat.
