Furnace stopped working

Problems with the furnace hoping someone knows the answer. Was working previous trip and this trip it stopped working. Turn on the furnace, set temp, hear a click in the AC unit, no ignitor clicks in the furnace.

Picture of thermostat included. Furnace is Attwood Model AFSD20121. AC is Dometic MFG # B57915.711CO SKU # 9105304463 Product # 936000-107

Furnace stopped working

First thing, check propane tanks. If my tanks have been turned off I always light the stove to purge most of the air from the LP lines. If on battery, make sure you have enough charge in the battery.

Friend of mine just had similar issue, turns out there was a low battery in T-stat. Another frequent issue is a dirty sail switch, especially if you have pets shedding hair.

Hmm. Thermostat is on house battery. I think the fan should run if the problem is the sail switch. Issue with the sail switch would cause the rest of the furnace to not work.

I think you are right about sail switch. Here's some troubleshooting steps that seem reasonable: https://www.rvingknowhow.com/rv-furnace-wont-ignite/
