Let’s start with the basics. Make sure the propane tanks are filled and the battery is fully charged. If your plugged into shore power that’s even better.
Water heater: should operate on electric, propane or both. There may be a switch on the outside, behind the access panel down on the lower left corner. The switch may appear “upside down”, that is normal. That switch must be in the ON position for the electric element to work and requires 110VAC. There may be an additional switch inside, if not then just the one mentioned is needed. Propane operation requires turning the switch on inside. You do need 12VDC for it to operate.
Furnace: again a good battery, or plugged in and propane. Depending on what thermostat you have, turn in the heat. The fan will operate first and then burner will light. When set temp is reached the flame will go out and the fan will continue to run to cool off components.
Fridge: depends on brand/model. Turn it on and you can choose AUTO or GAS. In Auto mode it will choose 110 if it’s available, otherwise it will choose gas. You need 12VDC for the fridge to operate.
If you need more information on specific appliances, just post with model number and brand.
