I am currently trying to start the furnace on my for sale 2000 Allure and apparently the furnace/fan won't start as it should. (I am not at the rig). It is in MN and has been parked. Batteries have full charge, all systems have been off to preserve charge. The coach is running, inverter is on, microwave has power, small switch beneath stove at floor level is turned on for gas, no gas to stove as burners won't light. Checked breakers, all o.k., gas is on at tank and there is propane in tank. On thermostat switch is "on" and indicator says furnace 71 degrees but fans do not start in any of the levels. Can anyone tell me if there is another switch of some sort to check? Thanks!

My rig has a solenoid that shuts off the LP valve if the house battery switch is off.

With your problem, I try to get the stove to light first, as you did, before then turning on the water heater. Once I have gas at the water heater, my furnace will also fire up.

Do your 12v lights work in the coach? If not, check the battery switch.

Is yours a propane furnace? Need more info.

Yes that is correct, it is propane.

Turn your LP leak detector off and back on... let it reset. That will open the electric valve on your LP tank.

When I bought my coach it had been setting for about 4 years.The furnace would not do anything,no fan or any clicking.I removed the vent to the front of furnace,the sail flapper was stuck.The burner will not light until it moves and turn's the switch on.It has worked for 4 years now.
Hope this helps

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I am waiting for my sales guy to get back to me and I will have him try those various ideas.

I have a completely different furnace which is diesel fired but the circuitry logic may be the same. I had the same problem just the other day and Gregg Bootes at CC saved me from a wild goose chase. He had me turn off all heating controls INCLUDING both wall thermostats in order to reboot the system. Turing off the thermostats turned out to be the only thing I hadn't tried, but that solved the problem. Apparently this has to be accomplished to reset the logic circuitry for the system. Don't know if it will solve your issue but certainly worth a shot.
