Heater

It was going to get into the high 20s this weekend so I went to campsite and turned heater thermostat to 57 degrees in my 5er. So question is what would heater do if gas ran out??? Does it shut heater down or would fan just continue to run???

Think that it would just shut down when out of gas and fan would not run. Just my 2¢s worth.

If the furnace runs out of propane it shuts down completely, including the blower. Once you restore propane you have to turn the furnace off and then back on before it will run again.

Why so high of a temp. 45 should be enough if the areas where water is has heat. That temp will work in the high teens.
