...furnace locations vary by model year and length....generally, the plate that surrounds the exhaust/clear air intake on the outside of the coach provides access....

The furnace on my 2001 36ft is below the fridge. A panel pulls off below the fridge inside the coach. The furnace can be removed from there. At least on mine, and my fan has been replaced.

I had the bottom fridge deck lowered to make room fo commercial fridge. Left about 1" clearance to heater. Last year had fan replaced, some cussin & fussin but they replaced the fan, etc.
If it is squeaking you may as well replace it. I recall the fan motor wasn’t pricey. It is easy to get out from under the fridge....if that is where it is.
Taking it apart is another story. What a pain. Wear gloves so you don’t cut your fingers on the sharp metal.

I have a squealing Suburban furnace fan motor too.
Stops after about a minute or so, then fine the rest of the day.
Just a matter of time before it makes for a rough nights sleep.
It's on the to do list...
Anyone have a good source for a new fan motor?
Truthfully I haven't even tried to source one yet.
Thanks
