Furnace question - solitude 377mbs
Hi - Newbie question. We are traveling and spending the first night in Walmart lot, so no electricity. Is it possible to run the furnace with propane without running the HP? We do not yet have solar or a generator.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. It is possible, but the furnace uses a lot of battery power, I wouldnt expect it to last the night on a single stock battery.

I'm not sure what an "HP," is but as @FT4NOW said, if you have a single lead-acid battery, it won't last an entire cold night. The fan motor for the furnace is the big draw. You will also need to make sure the Walmart you plan on using allows overnight stays and, if so, whether or not they allow generators at night (if you have one).

Would a lithium battery get him through the night using the furnace? Curious as well.

I can confirm this. I had 2- 100AH lithium's in my previous unit and on a cold night I burned through both in 11/12 hours with the residential fridge. I didn't have a monitor yet and I was surprised when everything quit the next morning. I had driven about 6 hours prior so I had used some prior to stopping (over whatever the truck supplied)
