Furnace
Your travel trailer is equipped with a forced-air furnace similar to the
type found in most homes with the exception that it is fueled by LP
gas. Each unit is equipped with a wall mounted thermostat that
controls the temperature. An operating manual for the furnace is
included in your owner’s packet.
The furnace is designed to have un-obstructed airflow from all its
vents, including interior and exterior. If any vent is blocked the
furnace may shut itself off.
Because warm air rises, furnace ducts run through the floor of the
travel trailer, and ducts are typically at or just above floor level.
The furnace igniter is powered by your 12-volt battery system. If
the system battery is low the furnace blower will come on, however
the furnace will not ignite. Make sure you have sufficient battery
power before operating the furnace.
Your furnace is designed to sustain a desired temperature in the
vehicle at most times. Due to varying weather conditions, the
furnace may not be able to keep up with sub-freezing temperatures.
The amount of vehicle occupants and the position the vehicle is
parked may help or hinder the furnace’s ability to keep up with
freeze conditions. Consult the furnace owner’s manual for more
information.
WARNING: DO NOT SUPPLEMENT THE FURNACE WITH ANY
PORTABLE FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCE FOR HEATING THE
INTERIOR OF THE RV. THESE APPLIANCES ARE NOT SAFE;
ASPHYXIATION/CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING IS
POSSIBLE IN ANY SMALL, WELL-SEALED SPACE.
