Furnace question?

I have a new 2019 windjammer 3029v. We have traveled in it for two months now. We are finally in an area with cool temperatures. When I turn the furnace on, I do not feel air flow from the vents but do hear the blower on. It does however kick on and off and can maintain the temperature. Is this normal? Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. you may have vents that have come disconnected or full of mouse holes (like mine) if the rig is getting warm the air is going somewhere if not out the vent then under the floor. You may want to have your dealer check it

I don't know about yours but some have AC vents on the ceiling and furnace vents near the floor.

The rig does have a heated underbelly, but I would expect to still feel air through the vents. It does have ac up top and heater in the floor. Thanks for the replies.

So your saying no air is coming out of the floor vents? If so then back to post #2. Check the vent hoses.

It's highly probable that your heating ducts below the floor are full of sawdust and other junk from the factory...

My 5'ver was that way when I got it and it almost took an act from the big guy upstairs to get my dealership to fix it under warranty.

My first thought was that it was clogged,but I looked down in each and couldn’t see anything blocking them.

My 2014 FR TH (upgraded to a 5th wheel had a big hole in the duct (looks like a flexible dryer vent tube) coming off the furnace, bought some aluminium HVAC tape from the hardware store to fix it (we were out camping and it got cold) before I took it in to get replaced under warranty; get this, the RV tech removed what I put on (tore it up more) and replaced it with some form of crappy duct tape, what I had on there was a lot better. I made them replace the whole vent tube, he wasn't very happy, oh well his problem.

When I re-examined the furnace, the manufacturer missed a screw on one end of the face plate. So, every time it kicked on it would blow open and all the air came out under the cabinet. I use aluminum tape and sealed it after replacing the screw. Thanks for the help!
