The fan stayed on and the flame on/off happened two more times, and then the blower went off. This happened two days in a row.

Then, I drove the RV to a new campground, and on a whim tried the furnace again. This time, it worked!

But now I'm wondering what the problem was and if it will happen again. And whether there are cheap parts I should have on hand.
It could have been something simple like air in the propane line that was purged out after the third run. Also are you able to check/monitor the house battery voltage? Maybe the voltage was at a higher and proper level at the next site.

A voltmeter is the first 'cheap' part you should have.
