Sorry, that is not quite true. While the furnace does run off 12 VDC, the size of your battery bank will dictate how many hours of run time you will have before the batteries are discharged. Ideally, you don't want to discharge below 50% for long battery life. And, unless you have a very large solar system and a lot of sun, you WILL be running your generator to power your converter to recharge the batteries.
The batteries in a typical RV can run a furnace for at least one night and still be within the 50% capacity the next morning.
Most power outages are no more than a few hours. If his battery can't hold out that long he needs to replace the battery. Power comes back on, battery gets recharged. Not rocket surgery.
