Feeling a lot of heat on outside furnace vent
Hi All, There is a lot, I mean a lot and very hot heat coming through the vent on the outside of RV. Is this normal? Thanks, Trudi

Thought of differently, a 20% loss (6kBTU) on my 30kBTU furnace is equivalent to ~1.8kWhrs. (Ugh, how I hate that furnace.) So yes, it will feel hot.
Pianotuna: I did some experiments using TEG's (Thermal Electric Generators) to recover some of the lost heat in the furnace exhaust by converting it to electrical current to charge the battery. However, the efficiency (<~15%) of those devices just makes it too impractical.
