Furnace not coming on when it should

The furnace in my Heartland North Country 30 FKS, is not coming on when the temperature drops below what I have set on the remote. For example, about 3 hours ago, I set the remote to 68 degrees F. Now, inside the travel trailer, it must be about 55 degrees F. The furnace has not come on. The green light in the roof is glowing.

What is the likely problem ?

Thanks

No action at all? I say it is the thermostat. Post the model number.

Sounds like the thermostat. Is it digital? if it is the old mechanical try to put the 2 furnace wires together and see if it starts. If not then there is several things that can attribute to this problem. low battery (needs 12 V to work,0
and other hings as described by MR Wizard. Good Luck on finding the problem and happy camping

Does it switch on, and then shut down? Or nothing happens?
