Assuming adequate power to run the fan and propane supply. Thank you.

Never a problem. Fridge is run on 12 volt and heat is ignited by a glow plug. If I may suggest putting all of your bedding in the overhead stuffed up against the front wall to use to better insulate. And definitely use the overhead vent insulation of your choice. I have never run the temp above the lowest setting of 50 degrees.

My furnace has never blown out in 60 mph winds so why would it while driving? The thermocouple would shut the gas off if the furnace stopped working properly.

I set it to about 60 degrees or so. About an hour before I reach my destination, I turn it up warmer with the bluetooth t-stat I installed a few years ago. THe vieo shows it in a travel trailer I had for a short time. I moved the t-stat to my AF992. 2009 Silverado 3500HD Dually, D/A, CCLB 4x4 (bought new 8/30/09) 2018 Arctic Fox 992 with an Onan 2500i "quiet" model generator stevenal • View posts Newport, OR, USA Senior Member Joined: 03/16/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/22/23 06:20pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator When traveling in sub-freezing temperature, the heat stays on low to prevent frozen pipes and doggies. No problems yet.
