It is normal for the burner to cycle on and off during the heat clcle on newer rv furnaces. this is especially noticable during colder weather as the furnace will need to run longer and more often to keep the rv warm. When staring up the blower will come on for about 15 to 30 seconds before the furnace ignites. Then the burner will run long enough to get the heat exchanger hot and shut off while the blower continues to push air over the hot heat exchanger (still warming the coach). When the heat exchanger cools down the burner will relite to once again heat up the heat exchanger. This will go on until the right temperature is reached or you shut off the furnace.
Is this an efficiency thing? It seems to me like it would take longer and use more fuel in the end if that were the case. Even last weekend at 10 degrees Celsius it took ages to heat up the TT...

Turn on your gas stove then turn on furnace. When furnace lights if the stove burners try to go out you may have a bad gas valve or low gas pressure. Let RV dealer fix it under warranty.

I'll try that in addition to all the other suggestions in this thread.
