furnace

In anticipation of a quick run to the Oregon coast tomorrow, I de-winterized the Hawk today. The Good thing was my very painstaking dewatering last November resulted in no frozen water pockets to cause leaks as I have had the last couple of years. (I hate pulling the front of the cabinet off to...

We just bought a brand new 2023 Imagine 2600RB We tried the furnace (Dometic) for the first time and this is the sequence of events: 1. Setting for "Heat" on the Furrion control 2. The blower starts and stays on for the entire process. 3. Igniter clicks 4. I hear the roar of the flame for...

Diesel parking heater. I love these things, about the size of a loaf of bread. Exhaust pipe, combustion air intake, and fuel lines are plumbed out the bottom of the unit. They make very dry comfortable heat and are extremely efficient. Need 12V to run the fan, pump, and glow plug. Fuel pump is...

Love me a diesel parking heater. Installed the actual unit in a service bed box. Heat and control wire are plumbed through side of lower camper. Controller was disassembled to reroute and hide the wires, plus delete the "holster" for a sleeker install.

Hi Everyone, I just got my hands on a Fleet of unknown vintage (somewhere between 2006 and 2009, maybe) and I am refitting it. I figured I'd just pull the old furnace and pop a new Dometic model into the hole. The old furnace is a Dometic/Atwood 8516-IV. The guy I bought it from said it...

Hello all. I'm hoping an owner out there might have experience removing the furnace without breaking anything. I've had sail switch issues that may be helped by cleaning the squirrel cage blower fan. I'll detail my furnace trouble in a minute but here are the basics to today's problem. I...

NOTE: Interior height is only 5'10". If you and yours are under 5'10" tall, this is a great package. Also, the camper was designed primarily for fall, winter, & spring use. As such, we DID NOT install a sink, water system, toilet, refer, or cook-top. The camper design maximizes storage and...

Hey Everyone, I'm a Nor Cal native and just ordered a new Hawk Shell model. I lived and sailed for years on a 46' sailboat I completely restored. I am new to the camper world after years of camping in the back of my pickup in the shell. I am super stoked to join the FWC community and would...

Hello all - I've been using (and loving) a 2010 Hawk w/ rollover chouch since purchasing (through this forum) in 2015, and I am looking for guidance on adding a propane furnace. I've reached out to Stan at FWC, who told me that simply adding the current Dometic unit DFSD 12111 would not simply...

Hello!, I picked up my new camper about 3 months ago. I have slept in it maybe 15 nights in the Wisconsin cold. The furnace decided to fail as it is want to do. I spoke with FWC asking if I could just get a refund on it and return it. I don't want a heater failing in spring or fall in...

Hi All, We have an Escape 19 (2019). The furnace hatch door is on the outside, oriented vertically, with the metal exhaust opening on the bottom. The furnace isn't turning on, so we watched the video on how to check the sail switch an circuit board. BUT, we can't get the darn hatch door...

Hi there, New to the forum. I have a 2017 375 RES. We are having trouble with the furnace. How do we access it? Under the stairs to the bedroom/bathroom? The underbelly is insulated, so not sure how to get to it. As well, the thermostat stopped illuminating today after we took the wires off and...

I have a quick question. We have never used our furnace since we got our fifth wheel last year. Does the furnace run on gas only? It has a propane or other option? I was confused. Thanks in advance.

Apologize if this belongs on another thread but I can’t find an answer to my issue. Brand new to TT life and trying to make this full time. Picked up my 17MKE in Florida less than a month ago. Didn’t need to use the heat too much but can confirm it worked. I now find myself more than 1k miles...

I'll start by saying that the unit is not new. It is over a year old and we used it quite a bit. Every time we turn on the furnace we smell a toxic smell that is continuously there no matter how long the unit runs. We know that new units will produce some smell but this is not our case and...

Hey all! First post, so be patient. ? I woke up this morning to a loud boom noise in my 2016 Grand Design Solitude 384GK, followed by the discovery that my heat is not working. It was fine up until sometime in the middle of last night when it quit (Happy Thanksgiving morning to me!). It still...

2 questions: Does anyone have a link to the owners manual? I can not find it! My TT does not travel. It’s my sheshed. I’d like to remove the dinette booth completely bc it just doesn’t work for my needs, but the furnace is in one of the booths. We have a debate…. If we do that; will the...

It was time to try our propane furnace with our new to us 5.0. I set the dometic thermostat on furnace with low fan. To my surprise both the furnace and the AC fan started running. I was expecting only the propane furnace to be running. Is this normal? I did not hear the compressor come on...

When we start the furnace the AC fan also starts up. Is this a normal condition? Didn't do this last year. We have the small wall mount Dometic controller that controls the furnace, A/C fan and A/C cooling. The display on the controller reads correctly.

I have a 2008 Gulfstream Vista Mini Cruiser with a Suburban SF-25 Furnace. When I set the Thermostat, the Fan comes on, and there is a clicking sound after 15 sec delay, but the furnace does not ignite, even though there is a smell of propane. The clicking sound is repeated twice, and after that...

Hi all, On our first journey in the new trailer our furnace quit igniting. It worked for most of the night (thank god) but quit at around 4am. I’m looking for any advice as we are in a fairly remote location so parts are going to be hard to come by. Trouble shooting steps taken: -Propane is...

New to the forums, but have already picked up some very valuable information just browsing, I'm excited to learn more. We just purchased our 2400BH in Florida about three weeks ago and have had it parked at our home (we just sold it) until our move out date. I saw a lot of forms about clicking...

I am looking for a replacement furnace for my Atwood, something that will fit into the same space. I love the Atwood but it is unreliable and repeated attempts to repair have me looking for a replacement. I've researched several and am looking closely at Diesel Furnaces. A friend has a $150...

Hello! We have put down roots and parked long term in Washington state. We bought a new 385GK Solitude last year and are learning all about what it takes to live full time in a rv. So far we've replaced the microwave, had furnace problems and have a current issue involving the oven and fridge...

I have a 2019 XLS 21BHE - Love the Rig On a cold night, a couple of months ago, we heard a clicking noise come from the AC (10-15 clicks) whenever the furnace turned on, I believe it also happened periodically when the furnaces was running and shutting down. Seems like some type of signal is...
