I was away from my 5er (Carriage) over the holidays and on my return my furnace which has always worked would not come on but storve top and hotwater would both work on gas. 1) I first checked my gas...

This does not sound like a propane issue, it sounds like a furnace issue.
Probably a sail switch??GaHighPockets wrote:
9) I suspected low gas pressure so I turned furnace back on, went out side and put hand over the fresh air intake for the furnace, it would light right up and make heat as long as I kept intake mostly obstructed.
I believe it to also be a propane supply issue, if chocking off the air supply makes it work, most likely not enough propane for combustion.
If this was a pressure issue the hot water tank and the stove would not operate normally as the OP said they did.
a sail switch in the furnace is proving airflow before firing and with the combustion air partially obstructed could be creating a false pressure reading which allows the sail switch to let the burner light.
Would recommend having the furnace checked.
