Furnace Problem - Shuts off while on Battery
I have a problem that has just started recently with my furnace. Let me try to do this logically.... Day One Boondocking on 12v Battery power. furnace comes on and operates normally-no problems ...

thanks for the responses
Grounds are one of the first things I always look at but in this case the furnace works perfectly on AC/Gen??? So that to me would negate the ground idea. My grounds at the battery are very good but I will check the one at the furnace if I can access it.
I am not familiar with a "sail" switch. Can you enlighten me on that? But the fan when it comes on seems to be turning at normal rpm's.
My understanding of how the furnace works is that the fan initially comes on before the propane is allowed to light to clear any accumulated fumes from the unit.
Then an electrically operated switch allows flow of propane another electrically operated switch operates the igniter.
But again I don't suspect any of the switches (but I dont know for sure how they are triggered) because they work with the AC. (shore power)
