Furnace blows but no hot air.

Hey guys. Just bought a surveyor forester 191t hybrid trailer. I tried turning the heat on. The blower kicks in but no heat. Just cold air. Any ideas. I'm new to this. My first trailer. Lol. Furnace model is NT16SEQ
Thanks

Have you tried turning the stove on and purging the gas line? It might take several tries to get the furnace to light. If you do get hot air open the windows because it will smoke till you burn the new oils from the metal.

I had the stove running today. Tried a few time with the furnace. Is there a shut off valve for the gas? I found the on off switch on furnace but I don't even smell gas coming through furnace. I can here it trying to click on though. How would I purge the line?

It will take a few attempts before the air is purged. IF you can get to the gas connection at the furnace, you can loosen it slightly to see if you have gas even flowing. MAKE SURE THE FURNACE IS TURNED OFF AND ALL FLAMES ARE EXTINGUISHED BEFORE DOING THIS! I would even disconnect from shore power also before loosening the line.

Are your batteries charged? Our heater didn't kick on one time when our batteries were very low. It just blew out cold air. Jerry

Last weekend I expierenced similar problems, spoke with a dealer and they told me that just because the stove lights it does not mean there is enough to fire the furnace. I also checked the fuse panel and found a blowen fuse for the furnace. Replaced that and the heat came on.

Please report back so we can learn of the problem!
It may be something we've not seen or overlooked.

Hey guys. Picked up the trailer yesterday. They told me it was the control board. Sometimes the furnace would lite and sometimes it wouldn't. Now it starts every time. Thanks for the help. Now it's time to go camping.
