Heater question on 24M

Hi Guys
We are total Noobs on this whole motorhome thing. I am loving the 24M though. The thing is. When we turn on the heater it blasts out warm air but at the same time the AC fan comes on full blast and blows room temp air. Is that suppose to happen? I haven't found a switch or setting to adjust the fan speed down to low.
Any ideas or suggestions would be great. We are leaving monday on a once around the USA trip. Our first big run. We have only done a 3 day trial so I am hoping it goes well.
Thanks
Bob

Yes. If you have the digital thermostat, is has an option to run the A/C blower to help distribute warm air when the furnace runs. (warm air rises)

To turn it off, find your fan setting in the thermostat and set it to AUTO. (AU)

This is normal operation (an option) and not an issue/problem.

Thanks for the answers. I did try to find the auto setting but couldn't find it. It seems to be a very basic thermostat. But I have an idea of where to check it now in fan mode. Again thanks guys. Great info.

Thanks Fonzie
That is exactly what I needed. I will change the settings when I get the coach out of the shop.
