FORCED AIR FURNACE (AUTOMATIC IGNITION)
The furnace is a forced air unit fueled by propane and
electronically powered by 12-volts. A wall-mounted
thermostat similar to those used in homes controls it.
To start the furnace, set thermostat switch to the ON
position and set desired temperature. The furnace will
cycle on and off as needed. To stop the furnace, set
the thermostat to lowest setting and the OFF position.
If your furnace does not operate properly, check the
battery condition and propane supply.
CAUTION: The furnace will not operate properly if
your stored personal items block the free flow of air at
the registers or return air to the furnace.
The operating manual included in your Owner’s
Information Package contains detailed operating and
maintenance instructions.
During the initial lighting of a furnace, smoke and
fumes may be created as a result of the burning off of
manufacturing compounds. This is normal; however
the initial lighting should be done with windows and
doors open and should be of adequate duration to
completely burn off residue.
Portable propane appliances are not safe for heating
inside the trailer. Asphyxiation or carbon monoxide
poisoning can occur.
ROOF MOUNTED AIR CONDITIONER
The roof-mounted Air Conditioner operates on 120-
volt power, which is supplied through the 30-amp
power cord, either from an outside 120-volt power
service or by the onboard generator, if equipped.
The air conditioner will provide cooled air for your
comfort. However, it is the largest single load of elec-
trical usage. It is important to manage your electrical
usage when you have either an air conditioner or
microwave oven installed or both.
1. Be sure air conditioner is OFF before connecting
electricity.
2. When the air conditioner has been shut down,
wait at least five minutes before restarting.
3. Do not operate without a filter installed.
Keep window curtains closed. Use kitchen vent fan
when cooking. Air conditioning removes moisture
from the air and it is normal to have water discharge
off the roof.
Experience has shown that some RV parks may
experience reduced power (low voltage) on days
with high heat or humidity, commonly referred to as
a “brown out”. This condition may result in the air
conditioner circuit breaker tripping in your power
distribution center. This protects your air conditioner
motor from damage and is necessary during low
voltage conditions. This breaker tripping is
sometimes perceived as a fault in your trailer, but
it is a necessary “safety valve”.
