Furnace Blower

I just know this has been discussed before. I am just not able to find it. I have a 2004 Dutch Star. Everything was going great until the entire park lost power. My furnace blower has not worked since. I checked the breakers and fuses in the bedroom and all is good. Any idea?

Pull the lower vent below the fridge and remove wood deflection panel you may find three fuses tape up.

An RV LP furnace runs on 12 v DC power. It shouldn't be effected by a lose of 120 v AC until your house batteries get discharged. Check that your thermostat is working. (try switching on air cond. fan) If furnace overheated, it will shut down. Usually turning furnace off, wait a minute then turn back on will reset it.

I appreciate the answers. However I have been there and done that. I am a very experienced trouble shooter. I just know there is another fuse or CB that I have not checked. As to the blower being 12VDC, I kinda knew that. Just telling what happened.

So what would you suggest if you have checked all
12v fuses here, and locations you indicate and your thermostat is programed for the furnace when looking at the face of it and the main control board for the first AC's dip switch is operated for furnace, where does that leave you.
Do you have a Surge Protector for coach power systems?

Apology

Forum members,

I showed an attitude the other day that is not in keeping with the forum or human decency. I do apologize. Please forgive me if my manner caused you discomfort.

As a follow up the furnace is repaired.
