Running furnace while traveling

I see a lot of post where people talk about running furnace while traveling in cold weather.
Do you leave it on when you stop for fuel?
Are all your vents postponed so they are not covered?
On mine the rear vent is covered by recliners after being tied down. The one near island cabinets is partially covered by slide. The ones in galley is in stairs going up to bedroom, so it is opened. The bathroom is opened, but door is closed when traveling. The bedroom is open but agin door is closed while traveling.
So wouldn't that just be a waste of propane?
Would that cause a restriction on furnace on the high limit not being able to have strong enough flow?

  • No one is forcing you to leave the furnace on when traveling. We do and all our vents are open.
  • Sometime if it is real cold out we will stop about 20 minutes before we arrive at our destination and turn on the furnace so it is not so cold when we arrive at the park. None of our vents are obstructed during travel.
