Correct, I've experienced several times where the furnace fan run and I had lights but the voltage was low enough the fan didn't run fast enough to make contact in the sail switch.

Back to the OP... you could have had two issues. Low battery and the propane things that have been discussed. You may need to address both.

The manual for the Suburban SF-xx line states that the voltage must be above 9.5 volts for the furnace to attempt to light.

May I suggest you get an AC/DC Clamp on Multimeter. It gives you the abilit to do the standard voltage and continuity tests...but also the ability to diagnose & monitor AMPS... as in what you are using and what you are putting back in when camping. About 50 bucks on Amazon. Like so
