HELP! In Pennsylvania with no heat

I'm kind of desperate. We just traveled 6 hours to PA with our 10 kids and our heater won't turn on. Thermostat is flashing E-2. We had the TT in for repairs this week...UGH! Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this?

    Until you get you propane heater fixed you need to go down to LOWES-WALMART and pick up a 120VAC OIL-FILLED heater. These are inexpensive... You should have a couple of these on hand for PLAN B anyway...

    I also carry an extra HD extension cord just for the heaters. This allows me to use the 20AMP SERVICE from the campground pedestal just for the heaters. Doesn't take away anything from my 30AMP shore power hookup.

    I use the low profile oil-filled heaters (AMAZON) but the taller ones are OK as well... Both put out the same amount of heat.


    I can sit one of thes O2COOL AC/DC/D cells portable fans (WALMART) behind the heater if we need to move the air around the room more..

  • Does your thermostat have batteries inside? Otherwise sounds like your 12 volts is low.
  • I have no idea but did see where E2 error was not enough voltage for the thermostat. Are your batteries charged up good? Are you plugged into shore power? You might go into the breaker box and flip all the breakers off then back on to make sure none has been flipped.
  • Check the leak detector mounted near the floor inside the trailer. Make sure it is turned on
  • Check for LP to the unit and 12 volts to run the fan, also the thermostat on / off switch too.
