Yes, I work in the trailer industry and work on campers and living quarters, etc.

Do you have a meter? Is it getting power at the furnace in DC?
Is the fuse blown going to the furnace?

Not necessarily. In fact it shouldn't be. It should be running off the AC/DC converter.
Sounds like a bad fuse or connection in/from the converter.

You really need to check your connections and ground including at the battery and fuse panel as well as at the furnace. The furnace can not light for a few reasons. It needs DC power of at least 12v for the furnace to light even on AC setting. If the motor isn't running at full power, it is probably not getting full power.(check connections and voltage) If the thermocouple is bad it will keep it from lighting as well.

Try the above, it you still can't figure it our PM me.

Camping World is a business whose whole purpose is to make money. Their average mark up on parts is about 30% over MSRP. Then if you become a member you can get parts there for MSRP. There are better choices.
