why do these things happen? Here's my guess: Your trying to keep warm. Your running 120 volt heaters, maybe robbing the battery charger in the converter of the amps it needs to keep the battery up. The sail switch dropped slightly signaling the board to shut off the propane to the furnace. The fan will continue to blow cold air until it is shut off at the thermostat. As suggested above, get a charge on the battery any way you can, hopefully 13.4 volts, the fan will spin faster and keep that sail switch up to allow the flow of propane.
Reducing the 12 volt load, such as lights and water pump etc will help in getting a proper voltage to your furnace fan, (until your fully charged up again)
Just a guess, good luck and Merry Christmas
