Look into solar power to help keep the batteries charged.

Welcome to the forum.
Check your roof for leaks. A small leak can do a lot of damage if not repaired quickly. Water intrusion will destroy a RV.

The furnace should fire up when you turn it on via the thermostat. Turn the propane tank on and light a burner on the stove to purge air from the line.

Yes you can run lights, water pump and furnace off of 12V. But, you will need a generator to keep the battery charged. Even a 1000 watt model will do. Best suggestion would be a pair of 6V golf cart batteries in series. Strongly recommend that you upgrade the Converter to a modern 3 stage type.
