X2 for what Ozz said. I had the same problem a couple months ago. I ran the generator and the furnace at the same time and caused too fast a draw and froze up the tank. A propane guy explained how it happened. Since then if I have to use the furnace while boondocking, I alternate between the furnace and the generator. It's a pain but if I get up about 2:30 or so and run the generator for about a half hour. I can run the furnace without totally draining the battery with one charging cycle in between.

Hey Ozz. Could I add one or two additional batteries and have enough power to run the furnace all night without the generator?
