This forum is great!  
We've been out in the rpod a few times this autumn and the temperature would drop to the single digits (celcius, 30's farenheit) in the evening.  Whenever i turned the heat on, the "jet engine fan" would kick on as well.  I couldn't figure out why it was doing this.  A quick search when I got home and I came up with the responses from mjlrpod and mcarter.  Thanks very much to both of you for the directions to "auto" on the thermostat!

The HW in electric is controlled by the HW CB and the outside switch, I have never had mine "blast on", it heats, it's just an element. +1 to Mjlrpod on furnace/AC ops. If you have no hot water it is NOT heating. BTW that system (HW) only works on shore power or propane.]]> Sat, 15 Sep 2018 16:11:40 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12195&PID=115071#115071 air and furnace : Ok, lots going on here.1styou... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12195&PID=115064#115064 Author: mjlrpod

Ok, lots going on here. 
1st
 you should have the fan set to auto on the thermostat. Press "mode" till you see "fan". Then press the up/down key till it says "auto". That should fix the fan (not the a/c) turning on with the heater. 
2nd
The heat, and hot water have nothing to do with each other. The heat is turned on with the thermostat, and the hot water is turned on by the switch next to the water pump switch.  For heat, Again press the "mode" button till it says furnace, then the up/down to set temp.
 For hot water, turn the switch next to the water pump on, OR you can use electric hot water (if you're plugged in) by using the switch located outside in the lower left corner of the hot water furnace. It's hard to see at first. Be sure you have water in the hot water tank before using. Check this by Pulling the emergency pressure release handle up, it should let water squirt out if there is water in there.
