Furnace runs with dial set to OFF?

New 2016 Palomino Back Pack Edition TC.

Wall thermostat set to the OFF position. Out side ambient temperature at 32F.

Plugged into shore power.

Walked by outside of camper and heard furnace running. Went inside and verified thermostat set to off and found furnace running normally like it would if I had the stat set to 70F.

Is it normal for a furnace to run while thermostat set to the off position?

What to do to correct problem?

    Most thermostats have an off switch independent of the temperature control. Picture of your thermostat would help.

    Furnace should not be running if your thermostat is set to "off" - might be time to replace the thermostat - not expensive easy DIY.
