My 2014 R-Pod 178 furnace/heater is under the bed. When I turn the thermostat to heat, the furnace clicks on and blows air, but the air never warms up/heats. When I adjust the thermostat temperature up or down, the air temperature doesn't change. Suggestions? ------------- 2014 R-Pod 178 aka the "Kobra Pod" following a 2015 4Runner wherever it may wander |

Check that the propane is on. The furnace will not heat unless it is getting propane. Light the kitchen stove and let it burn for 30 seconds to get all the air out of the lines. The furnace fan will run for 20-30 seconds at first to clear excess propane from the burner, then it should light. You should hear the burner running and feel heat shortly thereafter. ------------- Charlie Northern Colorado OLD: 2013 RP-172, 2010 Honda Pilot 3.5L 4WD PRESENT: 2014 Camplite 21RBS, 2013 Supercharged Tacoma 4L V6 4WD |

Exactly as CharlieM says above. Make sure your stove-top can light. This means you have propane and the valve is actually open. After the furnace ignites, it can take a minute to begin making hot air. If after all that it will not light, it means that there is probably an electrical fault at the igniter. There is a flame detector built in, and no flame after it tries to ignite means it shuts down. If you run out of propane while running the furnace, it will detect the flame out condition and stop running too. ------------- 2017 ATC 7X20 Custom Toy Hauler 2013 R-Pod 177 (SOLD) 2013 VW Touareg TDI |
