Maxx Fan™
The Maxx Fan™ runs on 12V. Operational controls are directly mounted on the vent. (See the
information included in the unit packet for operating instructions concerning the installed model.) When
using the Maxx Fan™, close all vents and slightly open the windows on a shaded side of the coach. The
direction of the airflow is determined by which window(s) are opened. Please note that the dome of the
vent must be opened at least three inches for the motor to operate. A safety switch will prevent operation
if the dome is closed or open less than three inches.
Furnace
The furnace installed is a propane gas appliance. Carefully read the manufacturer’s manual for complete
operational and safety instructions, provided in the unit packet, prior to using the appliance.
The furnace utilizes a sealed combustion system, which means the combustion chamber is completely
sealed from the inner atmosphere of your vehicle. Combustion air is drawn from the outside and
combustion products are expelled outside through a vent. The furnace is a forced-air system which
pushes warm air throughout your travel trailer. The blower is wired to operate directly from your 12-volt or
120-volt system.
New furnaces sometimes emit smoke and an odor during the first 5 - 10 minutes of initial use due to
machine oil burning off the heating chamber. Do not mistake this for a malfunctioning furnace. Opening
windows and door prior to first lighting will help vent any smoke or odor.
IN CASE OF TROUBLE: Consult your furnace manufacturer’s operation and service manual in your
Owner’s Kit for troubleshooting tips and information, and the location of your nearest service center.
Thermostat - Wall Mounted
Escape Trailer Industries travel trailers and fifth wheels have a heat only thermostat. Once the furnace is
on, its operation may be controlled entirely with the thermostat. You will not need to touch any of the other
furnace switches or valves.
