Furnace burning off stuff?
New 2016 RV - had it for almost 3 weeks now.
First time we had the furnace running, it really smelled, and set off the smoke alarm in the middle of the night. Figured it had to work some stuff out of the system before we could use it.
After a couple of times of using it, it got better, but still smelled like something was burning off. Luckily it didn't set the smoke detector off, but it woke me up in the middle of the night and I couldn't go to sleep until it had run its course.
I thought that part of the problem was that we were still driving it around and maybe picking up some dirt. So I figured this week when I get setup I am going to open the doors, the vent, and turn it up to 80. Let it burn everything off.
Did that, it definitely got that same smell. It's been warm and now we hit a cold day and sure enough it starts off by smelling like something is burning. I opened the cabinet, and nothing looks bad.
Will this continue on? It freaks me out to be honest. Or does it always smell 'burney' when starting up?
Is there an air intake somewhere or a filter that maybe needs to be replaced?
