gas heaters in 5th. wheel

Do you need electricty either from the batt. or shore connection, to run the furnance heater? Can you run your furnance with no electricty?

And a single battery will not run it all night. In fact it will most likely drain two group 27 over night! Chris

Furnaces in most modern RVs need battery to fire and run fan.

... and the correct answer is, it depends

I've had two RV heaters that didn't, one was an old-style convection furnace and the other was a catalytic heater.

But the blower type in most RVs require power

I had the catalytic type in a tent trailer too and it didn't require any power. Wonder if they still do that.

Thank you for the quick responses to the furnance propane/electricty questions:) Solved the question. Learn something new everyday!

Nope, need power to run the furnace and thermostat.

The furnace requires 12volts to run. Both for the fan and control circuits.
