Atwood furnace not working

Just picked up our new2018 Pursuit 32WC from the dealer. Everything worked well during the inspection prior to the final purchase. We drove the coach home, 2 hours one way from the dealer. The next morning we went out to the unit set it up in our driveway and attempted to turn on the furnace. Set the thermostat to auto and heat, the furnace did not start. Removed the exterior furnace panel reset the furnace, checked the fuse, which was fine, and turned on the oven to make sure the propane was working. Everthing appears to be ok. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

@Notime2go, congratulations on your coach! My wife and I ordered our 2019 Pursuit 32WC from the factory, taking delivery in early May. I'm very curious what other new coach owners have to say and what to look out for. I'll be sure to double check the furnace at the dealer walk through.

Did you ever get an answer to it not working?

We dropped the coach off last night at the dealer and they should be working on the furnace issue today (will update later), other than that issue we are happy with the unit. We installed the Safety-T-Plus steering stabilizer, during our first drive we found the coach drifting a bit. The stabilizer helped with that issue.

First you should check the electric side. Does unit have battery disconnect? Make sure batteries are on. Fan runs off 12 volt. Make sure breaker not tripped for heater.
