You can turn it on or have someone turn it on and go to the outside and listen to see if it's going through the start up which is fan will spin up for about 15 to 20 seconds to clear burn chamber then you will hear the ticking sound which is it's trying to light, if the gas has been changed and it was left unhooked for a while could have some air too

Hope you get some help on the forum. I have a similar problem, not sure what the problem is. Furnace kicks in, runs to temp, cuts out, but the fan keeps running, and the furnace will not kick back in when the temp drops again. We have been traveling through colder areas for the past 3 months, and the problem is intermittant. Some weeks it runs no problem, then other times, like last night it just would not restart, had to continuously turn it off and on to get it going. Didn't get much sleep and the water line froze. Today, everything is running fine again. Anyone have any ideas?????

Sounds like you have air in the line if it's going through the start up like you said there is no gas the stove will get a lot of it out but if the heater is after the stove it's has to get that air out it's a PIA but keep trying to light it
To tladouceur58 yours sounds like a board issue I would check the connection at the board and clean it

Check the SAIL switch... It's a switch with a long thin arm that gets blown closed by the cabin blower fan. If the switch goes bad or gets stuck it will not tell the gas valve to open. It is the number one item to fail on RV furnaces but easy to fix and not expensive.

Just a word of caution. The sail switch is a necessary safety item that prevents furnace operation should 12 volts battery power be low. Say under 11 volts. Perhaps your batteries are in need of replacement. If you are a boon docker with no other way to charge batteries this is a common problem or if in a park and hooked to power, your converter fuse is blown, or converter dead, so no battery charging. Check batteries cables and ground connections too before checking sail switch.

Is the sail switch easy to get to? Seem that the furnace is mounted under the couch and not very accessible?
