Propane furnace issue

Our propane furnace shuts off with propane still in the tank. When the temperature is just below freezing, upper 20s, our furnace shuts off with 12lbs still in the 20# tank. Our gauge on the tank reads just between green and yellow. This is in a Viking 16RBD hybrid camper.

    Make and model of furnace?
    What does the furnace do? Does burner shut down then fan, or does everything shutdown at same time?
    Are you running on shore power or battery power?

    Probably not a propane problem > More than likely it is something in the furnace or thermostat .
