Many newbies don't answer because they are drop-in, sudden problem resolved or unresolved, they don't plan on coming again so don't care about local etiquette of geek forums ;)

Could've been a neighbor too. Not all the answers were chew and spit variety. Though I'm surprised nobody suggested buying a propane space heater at any big box store. You don't always have 120V power.

Ooooooooooo a mind-reader.

Chew & spit answers reviewed by a forum newby don't get answered - ever. To asssssssssssssssume, they judged the answers and decided none of them were worthwhile is ludicrous.

Been there done that. They put out as many feelers as they can, review answers then go away regardless of outcome. A neighbor could have come along and satisfied the issue. I will never know and I could care less...

Apparently, the OP didn't care for any of your suggestions as they never returned...;)

Why not just turn the oven on and crack open a vent. I've done it a few times.

He's not joking....and don't call him Shirley.









I am sooo going to where an asterisk freezes over when I die

Freezing? 10 kids? Come back?

Shirley You Jest

They are dealing with a genuine crisis. And an avalanche of suggestions from people there.

Ten kids in an RV and dealing with heating deserves a Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Clusters!

Moved to Tech Issues forum from DIY.

apparently the mis-information is not a problem. OP never came back :)

Wow, so much misinformation here!!

E-2 is a REALLY well known fault code, it means the thermostat is outside of what IT considers the normal operating range, between 32 and 100 deg. F.

It's meant to alert you that there is potentially a problem with your heat or a/c.

In lip the stat of the base and warm it up to a little above freezing and plug it back in, once the heat kicks in and it gets back above freezing everything should be fine. Until the next time you hit that temp. again anyway.

Try closing your propane tank valves, take the hoses loose and reinstall. Open the valves very slowly, you may have tripped the OPD, Overflow Protection Device.
