Furnace running very hot...

So I have been noticing that my vent air has been notceably hotter.
Like too hot.
So I went to the furnace and put my hand on it. It is also too hot.

It is not triggering the over temperature sensor.

It is a 1 year old Attwood/Dometic 30k btu. The new model they are selling.

What types of things can cause this?

The air is blowing just as fast as ever.

    Airflow is key. Do you have any ducts to the underbelly or other compartments that may have become partially blocked? Otherwise if the burner runs continuous through the heat cycle you should be fine.

    You would have to define what you mean by "too hot". Measure a specific temperature, and either check the owner manual or contact dometic. If it truly is "too hot", they will want to know and will most likely correct the problem before they end up in a nasty lawsuit.
