Furnace Probs - New 5th Wheel Owners
This morning we ran out of propane. Hubby went and refilled them and then hooked them back up. Now the furnace will only run for 15 seconds and it shuts off. Any ideas please?? 2015 Forest River Venge...

You probably have air in the propane lines. Turn on your range and try to light a burner. This may take 15-30 seconds to get all the air out of the line before the burner will light. This will purge the air out of the piping between the propane tanks and the range.
Now, you will still have some air in the propane lines from the main line to the furnace. Keep cycling the furnace until it manages to purge the air from the main line to the furnace burner and it should eventually light and stay lit.
The fan only runs 15 seconds because it's purging the furnace before the burner lights. If the burner doesn't light (i.e., if ignition isn't proven), the furnace will shut off.
Also, be sure that the propane valve is turned on at the tanks and the correct tank is selected by the selector valve (if you only open one tank at a time).

Agree.
