There are many RV parts outlets on the web.  Simply Google RV parts.

The most common furnaces that have all the safety features etc. are the 
various models made by Atwood.

To see a representative sample go to

As far as batteries the operating words are "deep cycle".  .  Batteries are 
heavy.  Your local Batteries Plus carries a selection.  The most expensive, 
but longest lasting per Truman are the optima.  go to: 
http://www.batteriesplus.com/c-86-marine-rv-batteries.aspx  I have used 
sealed deep cycle from a discount store with good results (>4 year life), 
but Truman reports his don't last worth a dam.  In the midwest lots of deep 
cycle are sold for use on trolling motors.  The prices are attractive, and 
may be a good deal even if they don't last as long.  In other areas golf 
cart batteries may be available cheap (I suspect lots are sold in Phoenix). 
Golf cart batteries are 6 V, so even numbers have to be used in series or 
series parallel to get 12 V.

I also found a FAQ page about batteries.  It has lots of info.  Like a lot 
of things in life, there are choices and tradeoffs.  This info makes sense 
to me.
