    An RV furnace has a sealed combustion chamber. Unless there are mud daubers in there, there is really not much to do as far as preventive maintenance. The motor doesn't have lubrication points so nothing to do there.
    Possibly clean out dust inside the blower area but not much.
    I would be interested in what PM service CW offers for a furnace.


    Well there is servicing the burner assembly--cleaning it out, (rust/debris/scale) cleaning orifice, cleaning up the spark electrode/setting the gap/proper positioning, pulling spade connections and reinstalling making sure connection is clean/tight, pulling circuit board connector/cleaning contact surface, cleaning room & combustion squirrel cages of build up, checking the sail switch lever for free movement/binding, blowing out the combustion chamber.

    This is MY PM.......
    What CW does/would do?? And at $100-125/hr labor rate I would hate to find out.
    Especially when it isn't that difficult.....just time involved.

    I appriciate the reply but i would feel more comfortable with a professional doing the job.I am sure there are folks out there that could give me some insight on what i am looking at price wise to do a servicing on the furnace.But i guess i will have to do what should have done to start with and just call.Thank you everyone for your help.I will see in the morning.
