Thank you. My wife and I are still newbies. Been fixing up an older pop up and have been enjoying every second. Our last trip blower kicked on and it went to ignite but no go... luckily we had a back up electric heater but I will definitely be testing that sail switch .
I'd love to get your input Emily! A 2004 Corsair 5th wheel furnace issue. Furnace turns on, kicks in, ignites. Just as the air starts to warm at about 60 seconds the fire shuts off. The sail switch, thermostat and regulator are working volatge from the battery is good. The circuit board replaced today, still the same result. Any thoughts? I'd really love to figure it out and fix it so I can see the look on my husband's face! He's always thrilled when I figure something out that stumped him and his buddies. Then he brags to his friends about it. It's the sweetest thing! Lol 💕
Consider doing a video on how to troubleshoot a problem where when your rv water pump runs, the lights in your rv dim. Mine is doing it and I'm guessing it is a bad ground. I see this in a lot of rv forums.
Hello . Thank you for your videos that are very helpful. So my Atwood hydro flame AFMD25 series furnace works perfectly at low altitudes but the flame does NOT stay on consistently at high altitudes,above 8-9000ft. Flame turns off and on, on only 5-30 seconds. Any suggestions? Domestic customer service said this is common and suggested nothing specific as the cause except of course less oxygen at high altitude. All other propane appliances work well at the high altitude. My regulator makes a repetitive humming / swishing sound however, especially when using multiple propane appliances. 😢
My furnace is intermittent. It works about 30% of the time. Had it to the dealer last year and they said they found “rust” and had fixed it. Well, first time I had to use it last week, it was back to 30% operation. I took it apart and everything checked out using a meter: sail switch, high temp switch, gas valve solenoids, igniter, etc. Put the furnace back together and it worked fine on the floor inside the camper through half a dozed cycles. Put it back in the camper and it worked a couple times and then stopped working. It seems to have completely quit now as about 10 attempts all failed. So, I ordered a sail switch and hopefully that is the source of the problem.
@ It appears to have been the sail switch. I replaced it and the furnace worked fine for a 5 day camping trip with nights in the 30s so it ran several times each night. The old sail switch still tests fine with a meter. I can only guess that the sail itself was binding a little or something such that the blower didn’t have enough force to move it. The microswitch itself works fine and the sail seems to move freely, but once it the furnace it wasn’t working.
I don't have a multi meter or know how to use one. (I will get the manual you suggested) Suburban SF-30FQ 30,000btu. Fan comes on, seconds later clicks to ignite. Tries 3times and shuts down. I verified spark at the ignitor, clean orafice and full bottle of propane. WTH? Does it have to be a bad gas valve at this point? Plz help! Getting nippy here in Michigan. 🥶
It's bitter sweet, but I'm happy to see that this channel isn't popular enough to have porn bots all in the comment section lol. That's how you know you're in the big leagues as a TH-camr lol

Loved it ❤❤
I'm testing out Saturday at NRVTA. One of your videos was a great help in helping me understand a subject in class. Thank you thank you thank you
Wow Emily! What a timely(for me) video! I have my furnace out in the garage troubleshooting. Thanks for more information!
I'd love to get your input Emily!

I'm not Emily and I'm not a service tech. (I don't even play one on tv)
However... Did you test the high/limit switch?
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Wish mine had an outside opening, gotta pull mine thru pantry
Is there a way to bypass said switch?

What did it end up being? Mine is doing something similar

Always a good idea to check for rust and or corrosion on connections and cleaning if necessary @@LTVoyager
