Can propane heater run off the battery?
Can the fan blower run off the battery, or does it need electricity? We will be boondocking and need to make sure the heater works!

remember the batteries must have sufficient capacity to keep the furnace motor spinning at the correct RPM otherwise the sail switch will not engage and the flame will not come on. This has happened to me on very cold days when the furnace has run frequently at night. Luckily I have a gen set that starts from inside.
Okay, you answered my above question. 95% of the time we are hooked up to electricity, but we find ourselves doing more and more boondocking. At some point, it would be nice to upgrade to a camper that is designed for 4 season camping. Our trailer is paid off, so I hate the idea of buying another trailer, however, the current trailer doesn't have an insulated floor, poor insulation in the walls and ceiling, and lacks battery and propane storage!
