RV Heating System Overview and Troubleshooting

[@dancoleman8467]

Great video. Thank you so much. This inspires me to get the right tools and maintain my RV furnace.

[@OlorinTharkun1]

THANKS! My furnace quite working and it was a mud dauber nest in the exhaust pipe... this video helped me diagnose and fix it. I tried the coat hanger first, but ended up getting my big 16 gallon shop vacuum out of storage to suck it out of the exhaust pipe. The last thing that almost tripped me up was the gas line to the furnace had air in it because I changed the propane bottles yesterday. It was still shutting down after the 20 second spin up. Ran the stove burners for a little bit, and voila, working furnace again! Great video.

[@Tobette1121]

The minimum number of ducting was my problem. I installed a suburban rv furnace in my cargo trailer. The furnace would run by shut off. All the components in the furnce are perfect. The first thing I checked was the limit switch. It was getting to hot. Long story short, I only had one duct. The cover on the furnce has 3 holes to put some ducting in. I custom made a vent for all three holes. Now it’s perfect. Great video guys. You help me

[@michaelbias3438]

This video just saved me! I was camping, got really cold, furnace went out in the middle of the night, brand new RV! Thought my new RV blew a furnace. My dealer is 4 hours away. Came home early and started watching 'troubleshooting furnace problem" videos. Plugged it in and she fired right up. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Geart job.

[@FranksBmwAdv]

so it was a voltage problem? way to leave us hanging what was the problem?

[@kevinmacbeth5169]

great video for basic electrical trouble shooting on a rv furnace. My burner was coming on for approx 3 seconds and shutting off. I saw you take out the ignitor/flame sensor and so I pulled mine and cleaned the flame sensor and now it works perfect.

Disconnect the ducts at the unit and use a leaf blower to remove obstructions from the ducts. Works on dryer ducts too.

[@brianashcraft8098]

I will try that... We do have two huge Mastiffs that are always withus . We have never blown the ducts out and will do so in the morning

[@petemccammon]

I think you just solved my issue. My Gas water heater and furnace quit working and once I disconnect my shore voltage my lights go dim and I seen my grounds are very corroded. It all mages sense, voltage. If I get good voltage and still have problems I'll be looking for advice. Thanks in advance and for this video. City boy turned country so I'm learning.

[@wu2u]

I had an old (dried) wasp nest about the size of a quarter. When I tried to remove it I pushed it in further and out of sight now. I can hear it hitting the fan but judging by the pieces I did get out it almost falls apart just touching it. But I'm worried that it will suffocate the furnace? There's plenty of air blowing out the exhaust so is that a safe indicator that air is moving? I'm hoping the fan will just chop up the piece of nest but need expert advice.

[@danmadrigal3874]

I have a 2006 Coleman Fleetwood popup camper that I purchased a few months ago and used the camper twice. During that first campout, the furnace did come on (I think once) but only tick, tick, ticks and the blower blows, but the burners do not fire up. I am thinking that the sail switch isn't working. Until I saw this video, I had no idea where that was located so I think that I will tackle that tomorrow (I have already purchased a replacement). The other issue I have is that this popup doesn't look like it has a 12v battery. Since the furnace blower does come on and I have the tick, tick, tick - wouldn't that confirm that it must be using the converter to power the furnace instead of a 12v battery? Most people I talk to say that it should be using a 12v Battery, although one RV salesman told me that Coleman did put out some campers that didn't require a 12v (though these would not be able to power anything without a power source to plug into). I am just looking for confirmation of what I am beginning to learn.

Great video. However, there's just one problem. If you don't have the necessary gadgetry to test the unit, including the gas hookup, everything is for naught!

Hey guys im having a problem with my furnace maybe you can help point me in the right direction. I'm turning the furnace on it comes on heats up my trailer for a while, gets nice in here But then all of the sudden it shuts off and a couple of the life go off. It's not popping a breaker or any fuses in the trailer and a few minutes later the lights will come back on by them self but the heater won't. If I wait a little while and turn the switch on the thermostat off and back on it will come back on heat up the trailer again but does the same thing again. Any help thanks

[@tonydeleo3642]

I want to run an additional heater vent but the there are no open ports, how do I make an opening in the furnace case for the additional vent. Thanks!

[@Camperman1951]

I have a 1988 Dolphin with a Hydro Flame 8535-II furnace. I turned it on at the thermostat and it immediately blew the fuse. I tried to trace the wiring to find a short the multimeter shows continuity between the red (positive) wire and the yellow (ground) wires. I unplugged the wires to the motor and there was no more conyinuity, but I checked for continuity between the 2 terminals on the motor and there was continuity. I replaced the motor with a new one and it still blows the fuse, and there is still continuity between the terminals on the motor? Should there be continiuity between them? What else can I check?

[@TiggerizeBase]

You mention a minimum number of ducts, how do you know what that is? Ours has two ducts side by side to our bedroom and it forces to much heat into the bedroom at night when the door is closed. Especially since the thermostat is in the hall. Also if the bathroom gets to warm it shuts off the furnace to early because the vent blows warm air right up the wall of the bath/hall where the thermostat is mounted. Do the RV designers use their heads at all when they make these?

[@ruggedrick]

Thanks guys! My ignition system was blocked by small twigs. I had cleaned out the blower a few months ago and everything was quiet, but the chamber with the ignition system was the culprit. It wasn't easy to open on mine, but necessary. Mine is an SF-25F Suburban model. The blower probably purged the rest of the burn chamber, but the ignition area has equipment in it, so it couldn't get the twigs over all of it that metal like it could with the tubing. Question for you guys. As the burn change is all enclosed, and I live the RV Life (no air compressor), is it safe to assume that there aren't anymore twigs in it? I don't want to burn down my home and I'm not sure if igniting twigs in a BURN CHAMBER is an issue or not.

[@daviddion3731]

My question is in regards to ducting. I have a Heartland Pioneer RL250 and although I realize that not all TT heating / ducting systems are the same, I’d appreciate it if you could comment on this question: As a general rule of thumb, do most of the “mid-grade” (a build quality term I made up myself) Travel Trailers (heat) have ducting systems designed to have 1 giant duct that leads perpendicular to the duct that runs fore and aft in the rig and feeds the approximately 4 floor vents, or, is there (in this example) four different 4” round ducts that lead, one each, to the four different floor vents? I hope I’ve worded that well enough for you to understand my question. Assist very much appreciated. Much thanks, Dave/Florida. (Edit: I would like to close off one or two floor vents hoping that action would force more hot air to the remaining open vents, if possible)

Friend of mine has a momentum toy hauler and he claims that when he goes camping, it comes on little while then he hast to reset it he thinks that the heater is too small for the elevation, and overwork itself ideals ?

[@garygaisler4099]

If it says rv and furnace on it it's JUNK! Go outside your rv when your furnace is on and CAREFULLY put your hand near your furnace exhaust, fell all that REALLY hot air coming out? that's all the heat you are NOT getting. No rv furnace will tell you what it's actual efficiency is, all they will tell you is the btu's it burns. Couple that with the crappy electric blower fan eating up your 12 volt power and the fact that they are usually really loud and basically you have a box of junk parts designed to heat your rv for a couple of weekends a year in the most annoying inefficient manner possible.

[@jamesdoherty320]

I just want to comment on your comment. First of all, a rv is not built to be a permanent home though many people have to use it for that. If someone is in that situation it is best to use city power to heat the rv if its possible. Second, the loud fan. Its an eletric moving part made to move air with high pressure. Its going to make noise. One small down fall for the pleasure of a warm nights sleep. And finally the explanation of all the hot air loss from the exhaust vent outside. The furnace produces heat by burning off lp gas inside a chamber and the fan blows the heat off the chambers and out the vents. To have flame you must have three things. Oxygen, fuel and an igniter. When lp gas burns it puts off carbon monoxide which is deadly to people. So a smaller fan pulls in fresh cold air from outside, mixes with the lp gas and burns creating heat warming the chambers and pushes out the noe hot carbon monoxide out the exhaust vent. If you have any other questions feel free to respond. Be safe and stay warm.

Great Video; I personally, as a retired code certified home inspector, don’t trust these forced air furnaces. AlwAys have a CO2 detector that’s hard wired into a separate 12V battery. Don’t want to wake up knocking on St Peter’s Gate! I always take them away, use the space for storage, ect.. For heat, I insulate-seal the entire exterior against leaks, as well as the interior next, Pressure wash-clean first, then any cracks-seams, seal with “Through The Roof Clear Polyeurethane caulk..Will last a lifetime if applied right, although it does go on well in freezing wet conditions as well.

[@rwilson8320]

I bought a new toy hauler and it didn't heat the main area of the camper very well. Just had one vent and it was aimed into the garage area. I removed the metal vent access cover below the stove and found two unused vent plug options, so I punched them both out and added a 5" extension pipe (4" diameter) on each hole, to capture the heat and extend it against the back side of the metal vent access cover.... so it blows the heat out and into the room. Works great, but my question is if I'm taking away "air intake surface area" on the metal vent access cover, that is needed for the furnace to operate? The furnace doesn't overheat and seems to run fine. I'm thinking that metal vent cover below the stove is just for access and not an air intake at all. Thanks for any help and your videos are great!

[@CampingWorldTutorials]

Technical Editor Chris Dougherty replies: There are a few factors which could be contributing to your problem. First, are you certain your gas cylinders are full and open? Empty cylinders can still allow the odorant to come out through an open valve, but still not provide enough gas for ignition. Also, the regulator may not be set correctly. It should be set to 11” w.c. and should be tested by a certified technician. Note that replacing it still requires a test and adjustment. Changing the ignitor was a good step. The circuit board may not be providing enough spark for ignition. What does the burner look like? I have seen them rusted and warped, which will also cause it not to ignite. There is a gap, but it changes depending on the make and model of the furnace. The fact that you can hear the unit attempting to ignite means the rest of the system is working as it should, so I would have the above checked out. Service manuals for many of the furnaces can be found online by doing a google search, and you’ll find your gap information there. Hope this helps!

Ahou Neely when plugged into shore power you will be charging the battery and the whole rv will be powered up assuming your converter is good. When on shore power you will not have a problem with powering your furnace. He mentioned battery power/volts for the boondockers out there. The furnace will not kick on when the batteries are 10.5 Volt dc or less. The furnace is a huge draw on power.

[@geraldmichrina4529]

Question, I haven't Atwood fa 7916 and it was cycling on and off on and off every 8 to 10 seconds. I removed the gas from the valve thinking I would take the unit out. I immediately ran into too much trouble to make it worth the effort so I put the gas back on. Now the fan turns on and 11 1/2 volts approximately goes to each of the coil valves, which I'll show a resistance rating of about 40 ohms. Now according to the manual anything between 30 and 50 ohms resistance shows it's a good valve and as long as it's getting at least 10.4 volts it should be enough to open up the gas valve. But all that's happening is the fan starts current goes to the gas valves both one and two they try to ignite for about 7 Seconds and then shut off and never try again until I reset the thermostat and the power to the circuit board. My question is first off what's going wrong? And second why, until I removed the gas hookup from the gas valves did it at least ignite and then immediately go out and only reignite 29seconds later,but now it won't light at all I never took it out and all I did was take the gas line on and off. If I understand your video the sail switch must be working otherwise power would not have been sent to the coil valve and the coil valve is should be ooening sibce it's getting enough voltage and the resistance is good. There's no reason gas should not be going in and I most certainly here the click of the igniter while the valve is energized. What am I missing?

[@michaeljohnston1161]

You are correct in your assumption. Heat pumps will not produce heat below 40°F. There is no heat left in the air for the heat pump to extract. If your thermostat keeps calling for heat in heat pump mode and the temp keeps falling inside, then your gas furnace should kick on automatically to supplement the heat. If it does this three times, the heat pump will lock out for 2 hours.

Try removing the fuse for 15 seconds or so to reset the thermostat. Otherwise on some thermostats there is a button sequence to push/hold to reset it. Should be in your manual or online.

I can't get mine to shut OFF! Gotta go shut off the propane to get it to stop. Big hassle in the rain.

Thank you for the video… Loosing the music in the background would have been even better imo :)

Love the little spider joke.

Very nice video!

I think the exhaust design is poor. the fresh air coming into the RV is being tainted by the propane exhaust right below the fresh air intake. I feel sick when I use it.
