heating in winter
do you have to be plugged in to electric for the furnace to work? i know the furnace is propane, but do you need electric to run the thermostat and blower? Thank you.

Hi SuzyQ51,
Welcome to the forums.
The real answer is "it depends".
For example, if you are in a class C it and traveling many hours per day then the vehicle alternator may often charge up the "house" batteries (which power the furnace).
If you are hauling a travel trailer not much charging will happen.
Where are you starting from and what type of RV do you wander down the road in?
If you plan on using campgrounds, take along an electric heater to provide some of the heat.
There is a wonderful thread on winter camping under the full time forum.
