No Central Heating

Hello all,

i have the worst dealership in the world. I’m not naming them, but I should. I’ve had a series of things wrong, causing me to hire technicians to come out and search…only to find it was something simple the dealership shoulda done—like no electric water heating?  It wound up being NOT that the element was burnt out, but that the thing wasn’t plugged in.

This time, I’m searching why I have no room heating.

I have a Forest River Flagstaff Classic 290CFK 5th Wheel—nice, except it has no heating.

It has everything else, but no room heating.

I’ve called the dealership. I’ve called the sales lady who works elsewhere, now.

i can’t look up features with my VIN

I have propane.

I have electricity…

I have heating ducts near the floor…

I’ve put the matter on Forums…

But I still have no heating.

There is a thermostat, but only for AC.

There is no heating thermostat.

How could Forest River make a nice 5th wheel camper trailer WITH NO HEATING?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Forest River, are you there?

 Superman?  Superwoman? Spiderman? Bambi?  I’m ready to give up on this camper—not because it’s bad, inherently, but because

  1. Forest River won’t allow me to look up my VIN to see details about my camper
  2. Forest River doesn’t issue type/specific operator manuals.
  3.  My dealer is not helpful
  4.  and I’m cold.

     I turned flipped off the shore power breaker and the ship breaker box. Waited 5 minutes. Turned them back on…

    …and when my thermostat came back upon, it found the heater, on lp.
