Air Issues????over head but Duct is blowing???

OK guys....title is not right...but could not change it....Overhead air works great.....but duct work is blowing?

We just got a our 17 foot Shamrock(hybrid) and have it set up in the back yard.....had the Air(Overhead) on and was sitting down and felt the air on my legs....the duct work was blowing air????...I thought the only way air would blow out of it would be if the heater was on....I got up and checked the thermostat....it was off?????.......confused????.....

I was about to unplug the camper....and then it went off?.....

why was this on???


Thanks for any input.

you have a 2002 Shamrock, correct?

not sure what type of a/c and furnace/thermostat it has.
is the a/c a "Blast from the Center" type or does it have ducted a/c? what brand is the a/c?
and what brand furnace and thermostat does it have.

i only know of the newer FR hybrids.

my Roo has the a/c and furnace combined on the thermostat.
i think the ones with the "BFTC" a/c's, have a thermostat for just the furnace alone.
i think there is a switch under the thermostat that turns the furnace on and off while the slider controls temp.
sounds like the on/off switch is one and goes when plugged in.
but it should work off the battery unless the battery is near dead and won't power the furnace except when plugged in.

I have only had my Shamrock for a few days but noticed once the heat is on even briefly it will blow out the heat ducts for quite a while once you shut it off. Maybe a cool down period? I am sure it is normal.

neat....I also heard a fan under the stove last night while out there....there looks like there is an electrical panel down there....sounded like it must have a fan in there to keep it cool.

Thanks for the info!
