You should have a thermostat somewhere in the camper. Just turn it up and the furnace should click on.

I am not sure where your temp adjustment would be if you are not wired for a thermostat. I would have to guess that the adjustment would be on the unit itself.

If it was above 90 degrees in Von Ormy Texas, then it won't come on.

Mud Dobber in the burners??? Also there maybe an on/off switch in furnace compartment. Is it clicking warning to light the burner, if so it may just have air in the lines. So keep running it thru cycles. Are you sure your propane bottle is full and on. Just a few things to check.

hmm.. I tested mine when the ambient temp was about 75 - 80.. however, I cheated a little.. I cooled the internal coil in the switch by using a cool blast of air from an upside down compressed air can. It dropped enough for it to kick on.

Did that contribute to it kicking on? I can't be certain, but, it cam on soon after the blast of cool air.

You don't happen to have an On/Off switch on the bottom of the thermostat do you?
