My dash heat works really well, but it's only meant to do the cab. With the engine running, you can run your propane furnace(s). When stopped, the furnace drains the batteries pretty quick. I can get about 24-hours out of mine with both furnaces running before I need to fire up the generator or engine to recharge.
I know there are strong opinions on both sides of the argument, but my manual says to shut off the propane at the tank when under way in case of an accident. However, I've also read that the vent systems on the RV furnaces are designed to work while you're moving. I've never tried to use my furnaces while moving but I wouldn't hesitate to try if I had to.
