Your coach contains several systems to maintain a comfortable living temperature,
including powerful furnace and air conditioning units. While these units will maintain
your comfort in most climates, do not underestimate the importance of the simplest systems
- windows, vents, awnings and fans. Proper circulation is crucial to maintaining a comfort-
able environment.
Temperature is not the only factor that affects your comfort. Humidity is just as important.
In fact, humidity causes condensation and can damage your coach. Bathing, cooking, and
even breathing increase the moisture in the atmosphere. That moisture must be released
through windows and vents. Therefore, even when you are running the furnace or air
conditioning, you should keep some vents or windows open. Use the fans when cooking,
bathing or any time the humidity starts to rise.

The following is general information on your furnace. For specific information related to
the appliance that is installed in your coach, please read the manufacturer's manual before
operating. Failure to follow the instructions may result in damage to the unit.
40,000 BTU LP-Gas Furnace
This type of furnace utilizes LP-Gas to generate heat to warm your coach. A fan distributes
the heat. The air is drawn into the furnace, heated, then ducted to all parts of the coach.
Thermostats control room temperature.
