If the fan would run did you hear any clicking from them? Is your propane on? Since you have shorline it shouldn't be low battery voltage but be sure to check.
Low voltage can cause a fan to run but no ignition due to low air flow.

To provide you with useful advice you need to tell us:
1.) The make and model number of your furnace.
2.) Exactly what happens when you turn the thermostat to furnace mode.

Here is a link that may help.
The furnace temp is set for the right zone for heat?
Is there a gas valve entering the furnace location and its on?
Do you hear the furnace fan come on?

OP,
We are all stabbing at the issue. I would suggest, since you maybe facing another low temperature night, that you contact the after hours customer line at Newmar (800.731.8300). If possible have your build number and or the last 6 characters of your VIN number. They should be better suited to quickly assess your situation and propose a solution.
Best of luck.

Here are some files, hopefully they will help.
Have you measured 12 volts and ground at the furnace?
There are so many fuse holders in strange places on my rv and others that it is easy to miss a complete fuse panel.
Lots of`excellent videos available.

I had my front furnace refuse to light but it did run. Cycled the coach batteries and it lit and made heat. Costs nothing to try but I was lucky and it worked.

he only thing the FWS and furnace have in common is your 12 volt system. Have you checked for power at both?

Yes power to both. Bedroom slide works fine by the way.
