Furnace left on while storing TT
I'm pretty sure I left my furnace in the on position in my TT this weekend and we are a two hour drive away. The gas is turned off so it won't be using gas but the battery is charged and hooked up so...

I just replaced electronic board on Atwood furnace in my camper and factory board would keep the fan running forever. It will stop igniting after 3 attempts, but fan keeps on running.
I replaced the board with Dinosaur and that one does have fan off option.
Had to run new jumper wires to run fan power via board.
I don't think I would make designated 2 hr trip to turn the fan off as those motors have very long life span, but don't wait too long neither.
My lifetime experience is that when you leave something hook up, sooner or later something WILL go wrong.
My best remedy is pull the clamps off and that is good for 6 months for starting batteries, while deep cycle batteries hold the charge for 12 month.
With 2 hr drive to storage why not take batteries home and monitor them at least once a week?
Set on garage floor will not spill acid on critical trailer parts and will have much lower risk of fire.
