First time using the furnace I asphyxiated my wife.
RV closed up with wife inside. The furnace would not turn on so in desperation I went outside and removed the furnace access cover to snoop around. I find a switch, flip it, and "Whoa" the furnace starts running. Before replacing the access cover I get distracted. It didn't take long before my wife is screaming that the inside of the rig is filled with fumes.
That was a quick lesson... NEVER run the furnace with the outside cover removed.
