Yes...battery will supply power for fan.
Do you have a hot water engine supplied heater?
Ours has one under seat for dinner table.
That one keeps us warm going down the road. |

Actually we are going camping the first weekend in March. I was curious if the flame would blow out. Seems it would not, but..

The furnace will run on the road
however, I have a heating strip in my rear AC and I run the gen set on
the road. Then I use the rear electic heater and with the engine
heater running under the couch and the regular heater, it stays toasty
warm.

You might be better off replacing it with something newer and more efficient (Honda). More power, less noise, less fuel, etc.
I have a line on a used Onan 6.5 if anyone is interested. Same one that same in the 345's.

| I have a Honda EU2000. It is too small to run the AC. But up here in the Fridgid North there is little call for AC. |
