Atwood furnace heating issues?
I have the Atwood hydro flame furnace model #8531-IV 30,000 btu, using a Dometic Duo-therm thermostat. This furnace has been running very well up until this morning. Last night, as always, before go...

Had similar issue and it was a faulty regulator at the tanks.
It could release enough gas for the range and water heater, but the 35K BTU furnace's demands brought it to its knees. The furnace would click and sputter and then turn off. The problem appeared over the course of a day.
So would check the regulator first before pulling the furnace.
I believe the service tech attached a manometer (?) to a port in the range and monitored propane pressure when the furnace tried to run.
Actually, this may not be your issue as your furnace runs for 3-5 minutes? Mine would sputter for shorter periods, igniting briefly then dying.
