Heater

Has anyone had any trouble starting their heater for the first time?

the water heater or the furnace?

The furnace. This is our first trip out in our new trailer. Heater comes on but can't feel any heat coming from the floor vents.

Make sure your propane tanks are full. I've had that happen when one tank is low and i didn't have the other one open. Ours will blow cool air at first. After a few seconds the warm air starts.

Seems like something is blocking the vents or they were not connected right at the factory.

Hot air is blowing out the back of the trailer and no air at is coming out floor vents.

Does anyone know where the valve switch is for the furnace to work?

Hot air from the outside vent indicates that the heater is "fired up", that's good. Open the panel to access the heater from the inside and check to see if the duct work is connected. If it's just laying in there, then there's your problem. Turn on the heater, if you feel hot air blowing inside the cabinet then it's got to be the duct work connection.

Good luck.

It always takes several minutes for the vents to start feeling warm after it fires up.
