Hi, I'm not sure if I should ask this on this forum but considering my Rv is a 1978 I thought you may be the best people to help. We recently bought this gem for 900.00. We are fixing it up but are having a small problem with the furnace and the generator. The furnace ignites and when the room reaches temperature the burner goes off but the fan doesn;t always switch off. It has run fine for the last two days. But occassionally this happens. Is there anything we can do to fix it?

And the generator we started once but not since.The automatic choke doesn't seem to be working and maybe the spark isn't strong enough. I would really like to get it running. We are trying to do this as cheaply as possible since we bought it on a whim.

Karen

================================
The furnace = two things come to mind for me.
1. The furnace runs until it cools down and temp sensor shuts the blower off.
2. A relay is sticking on the blower motor or the control board is failing.
--------------------------------
The Generator choke is electric and needs power to work, check for power at the choke when start button engaged. If it has power but not working you may need a new choke cylinoid.
