We do have a manual for the RV but it is next to useless.
Go to WFCO’s website - for what I could find on the WF-9860, it only mentions Lithium. It is possible a PO changed the convertor but put or kept the wrong battery. Make sure the WFCO you have, download the manual.
Let’s put the battery on the back burner for now until you can read up more on the convertor, and possible call WFCO to confirm that lead acid or AGM are acceptable on the convertor you have.

The coach manual is really nothing more than a guideline to the general manufacture of the coach. And then there is the Owner/User manuals for each appliance in the coach, and they will also have Service manuals.

Did you ever get a crescent wrench, loosen the line at the furnace or heater and check for LP gas pressure?

You say “blower” when your talking about the furnace. LP furnaces usually have an access door on the outside of the coach. You undo 2 screws or latches and the door swings down. There you will find a label for who manufactured it and the model/serial number.

Get yourself a 3 ring binder. Print off the manuals that you find and put a copy of the Owner and Service manuals in it for when you need them (problem you have now is you don’t have them, particularly the service manuals, and your limited knowledge of how everything ties together to work).

I sure am glad you got a new battery. The one you had requires periodically checking the electrolyte level. If you had not been doing that, you could have had a situation where the battery could have exploded. If your new battery has removable caps, please set a reminder on your phone or somewhere to check the electrolyte level. Make sure to use distilled water and do not over fill.

New battery...good voltage (Lead/AGM Battery is A-OK for that converter)

Stove/fridge propane work

So Furnace:
With thermostat set to Heat...temp set higher then room temp do you hear Thermostat CLICK
After it CLICKS does the Furnace FAN Come ON
No Fan...then need to access furnace and check the On/Off Circuit Breaker on the furnace frame ...if tripped no Fan/so hence no Furnace
