Also make sure you turn on the valve on the propane tank VERY slowly. Not kidding, it should take you over 30 seconds to open it all the way. The newer tanks have high-flow cutoff valves internally and opening the main valve too quickly can trigger it. They are both controlled from the thermostat, and yes some of the A/Cs came with the heat strips as I recently discovered on mine. I took mine out though since it wasn't enabled and I use a small ceramic heater when we have hookups. |

Well, that is another possibility. We live in NC and it's safe to say that I've attempted to test the heat during the day when it's 80+ outside. So maybe I'll give the test at night.
I really appreciate all the input I've received. You all are wonderful! Just to prod further. If this works out to be an electrical issue, have any of you replaced the old analog thermostat on the wall? If so, do you have to use the "domestic" brand or can I pick up one at Home Depot?

Check the voltage first. You need one that operates on 6 VDC.

I just realized I made an obvious mistake in the post above. I don't know why 6 VDC came to mind. The correct voltage is 12 VDC. Sorry for the error.
