Dometic furnace

Bought a new FR3 motorhome went to use the furnace and it just blows out cool air, doesn't heat the rig up. Does anyone else have this problem or suggestions to what I could possibly be doing wrong

Did you open the propane tank?

If new and tank is open and tank is full, then run it thru a few cycles to get the air out of the line.

If propane is not available at the furnace it will make several attempts (about 30 seconds) to lite. If it does not light it will stop. It is necessary to turn it Off and back On again to repeat the cycle.

If the propane bottles are full then it just may be the air hasn't cleared the lines yet. Try turning on the stove to help clear the lines then try again.

To clarify, you have to actually turn it "off" not just down to reset the furnace if it has failed to light 3 times in a row.
