1. The furnace only needs 12VDC and propane (no 110V AC required). Therefore, the generator running the converter to produce onboard 12VDC should make no difference than your jumper battery IF it had sufficient power to run the thermostat which is very little current. If the jumper battery had sufficient power to run your slides then the thermostat should have showed power.
2. The thermostat gets its 12VDC from one of the two blue wires on the furnace. The other blue wire is ground to the thermostat, also from the furnace.
3. If you did not see the thermostat come on when you hooked up your jumper battery, I can only suggest that the battery connection was not good or the thermostat switch did not get to the heat position completely. You should try it again. I don't think you have a problem.
