I have a 2007 Dutch Star with Aqua Hot. It is in my unheated garage. I turned on the Aqua Hot system last night and it lit ok. When I set the thermostat to furnace on both zones, the furnace would not turn on. No heat in the cabin. We are not sleeping in the unit now, but want to keep it warm enough to prevent freezing as it is not winterized. Checked the fuze in fuze box and it is ok. Any ideas?

We have three zones the middle zone must be in off position for the furnace to work with zone 1&2 in furnace mode.

Do check to make sure fuel level above 1/4 or there won't be any diesel for burner.

Is the inside temp 2 degrees colder than the furnace setting? Is your fan set to auto? Is your furnace (diesel burner) turned on? It will not heat your water on electric unless plugged in. Is it set to Furn, not auto? Just some thoughts....

Thanks for everyone's help. This was easy after I did my basic checks. I had just returned the motor home from a local "well known" camper repair facility after they changed out the micro wave. That is another story to be told at another time. The 20 amp fuze had been removed for some reason while under repair. I am 100% sure it was installed prior to service as we had recently had the furnace on and working. I suppose the repairman removed the furnace fuze while installing that dangerous microwave.

I do not winterize the unit, but store it in our unheated but well insulated garage. I have an exhaust collection port for the a
Aqua Hot system. It was 14 degrees f that night so it needed some heat and I did not think of checking things out until late in the evening. No damage, but that fuze will remain a mystery.
