Trouble shooting a furnace?
The butane furnace on an older travel trailer isn't working. The fan blows but I do not hear the auto start clicking. This belongs to my Wife's nephew who is living in the travel trailer. Don't all...

Sail Switches in the thermostat were the only problems we had replaced with a heavier unit designed for something else. They have contact points like old points distributors that burn etc.
Butane " be hard pressed to find butane in quantity now. Butane does not do good in cold weather. We had at least one Distributor mixing a lot of it in to his Natural gas which should have been propane. There are differences. Natural gas is not all propane and Butane and some others are all labeled natural gas and uses in the pipelines to homes etc at different times of the year.
Are you sure you don't mean propane furnaces,...in an an RV? Either way check the igniter, the pilot tube etc and adjustment of flame and first that you are getting fuel to the furnace.
Best idea but perhaps not the cheapest if nor familiar with the system is to call a good Mobile Tech, and observe what he does and ask questions, its your dime.Furnaces, water heaters, water pumps and lines and air conditioners/ heat pumps are the chief items they get calls for.
