No heat in bedroom

Hi! We have a 2009 Montana 3400rl 5wheel. We bought it used, and will be living in it for a year. The dealer we bought it from was supposed to clean it and check it out, but they didn't. Now we have issues. Most pressing is that there's no heat to the bedroom, but there is the to the rest of the unit.
Any ideas?

Thank you for any help you can give!
  • There's a circuit board, and taking the panel off the outside, I can see it. Those can go bad, but this unit is only 4 years old. Why on earth would all this stuff be going bad after only 4 years? That's why I'm unsure if it's because of the cold, partially or wholly.
    The service tech should be able to figure it out fairly quick. He's pretty good.
    And I replaced the regulator. The indicator has switched from red to green, whereas the old one was stuck on red.
  • burner could be sooted up, I use compressed air to blow out the fridge, water heater & furnace once a year.
  • Now appears that the issue may be a stuck float on the second stank, or the little steel ball is stuck inside. You would think they could make these things not so intricate and fragile. But then if valves and regulators lasted for ever, they'd probably be priced beyond value.
  • I wish bedroom in my Montana was a lot cooler with the heat on. The furnace is under the shower and it is right at the top of the stairs. Heat also rises and with the shape of our roof the heat travels up to the bedroom from the living room unless me close the door.
  • I think the location of the heater and the shape of the ceiling is by design, so that you can actually have the heat setting lower, and still get the benefit in the bedroom.
