Suburban Furnace did't start
A Suburban SF35Q RV furnace.
Worked fine a week ago. Then started sputtering while running.
Finally wouldn't start at all. You could hear the flame catch briefly and feel the heat in the exhaust, then it would go out. This happened 3-5x before it stopped trying.
As there was no 120V at our Great Smoky Mountains N.P. campground, I opened a window and turned on the stove for heat for a few hours in the mornings and evenings. The tanks were full, I switched from one to the other just to be sure.
Finally got a mobile RV tech to fix it down here in Florida.
Diagnosis? Curious what people here would think.
My initial thought was a plugged burner.
Or maybe an electronic control issue.
But no, it was the regulator.
The flame of the stove burners was a bit lower and more yellow than usual, but it didn't click to me that this could also be the furnace problem.
