CHAPTER 5
APPLIANCES
GENERAL
All appliances in your Jayco RV are name brand quality built equipment, guided by
current code and standards. For gas operation, the appliances in your travel trailer will
operate on LP gas only, not on natural gas. All safety precautions for LP gas from
Chapter 4 must be followed during operation of the appliances. Please familiarize
yourself with them before proceeding.
Included with each travel trailer are specific operation manuals, written and published by
the manufacturer for each appliance. Refer to these owner’s manuals for additional
information not covered in this manual.
FURNACE
The furnace requires both 12-volt DC and LP gas energy for full operation. The
combustion system is fully sealed. Oxygen is drawn from outside through the center port
of the vent by the fan motor. After burning fuel, the carbon monoxide exhaust is expelled
into open air through the outer port of the vent. This vent is NOT to be altered or
obstructed in any manner to ensure your personal safety.
In order for the furnace to operate, a fully charged 12-volt DC battery or 120-volt AC
power through a converter must be available.
Two types of thermostats are used in campers. Thermostats are generally installed on an
inner wall of a cabinet.
The thermostat in Fig. 5-1 is used for travel trailers which DO NOT have central air
conditioning. The furnace is D.S.I. (direct spark ignition) in operation and all functions
will be performed at the thermostat.
The thermostat in Fig. 5-2 is used in travel trailers with a central air conditioning system.
The furnace will operate by moving the switch to “heat” position on the system side
control. The furnace has it’s own fan. No movement is needed on the “fan” side.
