The RV furnace installed in the RV is
controlled by a thermostat. The furnace
requires both 12-volt power and propane gas
for full operation. Make sure you have
sufficient power available before operating
your furnace (refer to
Sec. 2 Electrical
Systems , Calculating electrical load). Read
the OEM operator’s manual for detailed
operational instructions. If you have any
questions contact your RV dealer or visit the
OEM website.
A qualified RV technician should perform all
furnace maintenance at least once a year
(more often depending on furnace usage).
Never attempt to repair the furnace yourself.

CAMPING & OPERATING
WARNING
To ensure your personal safety, do not
obstruct or alter the furnace in any manner.
Do not install screens over the vent for any
reason. Screens will become restricted and
cause unsafe furnace operation. For your
safety, only OEM factory authorized parts
are to be used on your furnace.
WARNING
The furnace should be inspected
periodically (monthly during the heating
season) for presence of soot on the vent.
Soot is formed whenever combustion is
incomplete. This is a visual warning that the
furnace is operating in an unsafe manner. If
soot is observed on the vent, immediately
shut the furnace OFF and contact a
qualified service agency. Operating the
furnace under this condition could lead to
serious property damage, personal injury or
loss of life.
