Furnace Operation 2017 Coachmen Leprechaun 317SA

[RVJeeper18]

Finally got cold in S Texas and I can't remember how to get the furnace on. Dealer tells me there is a separate furnace cut-off switch usually located on baseboard under couch, fridge or oven. Not in ours - tried procedure in the worthless manual to no avail - can't even get the initial fan to turn on to vent the gas before it lights.

Any help appreciated - Where is the magic switch and what is proper start-up procedure?

TIA....

I don't know how yours is set up but try this. Make shure the propane is turned on. Try lighting the stove.
Turn the thermostat to heat
Turn the thermostat to where it is set warmer than what the coach is.
The furnace should come on. I believe it has a auto time out if it doesn't light. you may need to shut it off and try over to get any air out of the system.
Let me know if it works.

Since I have a 2017 Lep, I assume your thermostat is like mine. Assuming it is, you need to press on the left hand side. You should get a first reading that will show "Auto", then you push it again, the sign will change to "cool" reading. You then push it a third time and you should get a furnace reading. When this comes, you push on the right hand up or down depending on how warm or not you want to set the temp. You wait for a few minutes and it should turn on. I hope yours is like mine and that the above helps. I am in S TX too, and it is going to be below 32 tonight and tomorrow night.

Got it fixed! Dug around on google and found phone number for Coachmen corporate Service rep. They called me back in 20 minutes and 1) Told me to forget about another "switch" (does not exist..) and 2) walked me through some diagnostics and determined they thought it was bad Ignitor circuit board. It is a very universal part and local RV shop had one in stock - easy to swap and works like a champ!

Thanks for the help.
