Furnace only works when resetting fuse
Good evening.... On our family camping trip this past weekend, it was cool enough to use the heat. I could turn the heat on, set the thermostat, and the blower would spin up followed by nice toast...

Sounds like it is going into some sort of lock out, and turing off the power is the way to re-set it.
You can check the output air temperature, and say if it is reaching over 150F, let us know how hot it is getting, that might be a clue to why it is locking out.
Also if the propane tank is low on propane, or the regulator is freezing up, it might cause a lack of gas pressure for a little while, then back to normal later, causing the flame to go out while the burner is on, and lack of flame can cause it to go into lockout. Yet I have almost ruled this out while typing it, because it locked out so many times, yet you still had propane to run the furnace hours after that first and second time. ALso the refrigerator was not effected, so the propane system is probably working normally (unless the Refrigerator check light came on as well).
