Question on propane heater

This is perhaps an odd question but should the roof unit turn on when you turn on the gas heat?

We have a 27' 2017 FC with two AC units. The one in the back, unit #2, was replaced last fall and we have not used the heat since. In preparation for a winter trip I wanted to check and make sure the propane heater was working so on a chilly morning I went ahead and turned it on. It worked fine but also the #2 roof unit turned on and was, I am guessing, just circulating air. It was not in HP mode but FURN. We used the heat our first winter but that was almost two years ago and I do not recall the roof unit turning on when using the propane heater. Note that it is the #2 unit that is used on the thermostat to access the FURN mode.

Did I just forget that it must have turned on when I used the propane heater before? I always have the fan in "AUTO". The manual talks about the fan turning on or off but I was assuming it meant a fan in the propane heater itself, not the roof unit fan.

Any insight is appreciated. If the roof unit is running unnecessarily then I want to get that sorted. Thanks!

If the furnace is on, but the fan is in anything but Auto mode, the fan will run while the furnace is on. Place fan in auto to solve.
