I have a new 2014 itasca that has a simulated fireplace that quit working 50 milesfrom camping world. Has anyone had problems with one of these things? Camping world is playing dumb which I find not uncommon. If you have one and had problems what was your fix?Thanks

Circuit Breaker? or on my prior Rv Fireplace the switch failed Since its new take it back to Camping world ( I assume you bought it there ) Its a warranted item and make them( Demand) get Smart! All New coaches have many failures from what i can tell from friends who have bought new and my own 3 new trailers/5ers. Its the Dealers responsibility to fix or replace .. you'll have a fun year finding all those things :.)

You say it stopped working fifty miles from the store- assuming that was also immediately after you bought it, what did they say when you took it back and tried to return/exchange it?

Seeing as how it is really just an electric heater. Check the 110V AC circuit breaker. Turn the CB OFF then back ON. Still no workie....then you need to check for 110V AC power at the ON/OFF switch.If you have power to/thru switch then you need to check if heating element is burnt out or if ground circuit is bad.You do have 110V AC power......either plugged into power pedestaal, generator or inverter (if inverter supplies that circuit)?

Is yours on a remote control? If so, have you checked the batteries? Have you accessed the manual controls on the Fireplace? Doug

More information needed: by "quit working" do you mean it no longer provides heat, no longer lights up, or both? If nothing works, check the power cord to make sure it didn't become unplugged. If it's still plugged in, check for 120VAC at the outlet. If there's no power there, check the circuit breaker feeding that circuit. It's a simple matter of checking each step of the way from the AC source (shore power, generator, inverter) to the device.

Called factory that made fireplace for winneybago and went through their test over phone every thing comes on fine then hrater part cuts off and accent light starts blink and heater side cuts off.Factory sent a new heater motor that was here when I got home from Main. Havent replaced yet may take it to dealer and let them do it. Just wanted to know if I was the only who has had problems??

Dawn is beginning to break!

Sounds like the heater was factory installed, not purchased at Camping World...is that right?

Thermal overload failed on mine.It was from coachmen (made in china).They replaced the whole unit because a two dollar part failed. We do live in a disposable economy.

I will ask a stupid question: ARE YOU SURE IT IS THE FIREPLACE

have you plugged something else into the outlet and tested to see that it is still "LIVE" (If it is a duplex outlet.. Plug in at the same time)

Why do I ask this?

On my motor home when I plug in a 1500 watt heater.. Some of the outlets give me "hot wire" aroma.. Not something I care to smell cause it is often followed by one of two things.

1 Circuit failure
2 Visit from Fire Dept.

To solve this I have added a few outlets to this MH.. these are all 15/20 amp outlets (Save one that's 20 only) and all wired with 12GA wire instead of 14, No more hot wire smell, No more problems.

I think Rinorider hit the nail. Every thing works as its suppose to, the sim. fire glows up and down the remote works and there is nothing wrong with the outlet. Its just the heat side of the unit. Just wanted to know if I was the only one who has had a problem.
