Furnace Problems
Follow up to my original thread. I removed the furnace and carefully labeled all the wires that stay with the coach. Took furnace to a mobile tech in the Omaha area. A new gas valve and $180 worth of labor charge, I had the furnace back and ready to install in the RV. Mine is a bit more complicated than the average as I have dual heat pumps and fan blower in the water compartment. There is a relay in the system that kicks the furnace on when it gets too cold to run the heat pumps efficiently. The tech disconnected the relay when he bench tested the furnace and then just slapped the wires back together. When I got it back and got ready to put it in, I new I was in trouble when the coach wire I labeled connect to the double red, had three red wires wirenutted together. After much confusion, I was finally able to get a diagram from Newmar that showed how the actual coach was wired. After switching almost all the relay connections and carefully double checking every color code, I got it back together. One hour job to four hours. I usually take pictures. Made the wrong assumption, that if the tech disconnected anything he would connect it back the way it was when he started.
