We have a similar problem with the furnace in our "new" 2004 Tahoe Lite. Took it out for our first camping trip, everything worked, includeing the Suburban furnace, but the fan is loud and sometimes rattles like crazy. It's not a squeak.
I assume there is something loose inside so I'm going to take the whole unit out to check it. (Just not sure if I'll screw up the propane system when I turn off the propane and disconnect the gas line, can I just reconnect it and turn the propane back on and be ok)?
I think I also need to remount it on a rubber pad.
I've had other TT's with Suburban furnaces and they have been nice and quiet running. This one ain't quiet. Does this sound typical for a 2004 furnace?
No problem with the propane. After shutting it off light the stove and let it run until all the propane has been used out of the system. After reinstalling the furnace turn on the gas and light the stove until you get a nice flame. It may take a minute or so. Even then your furnace may take a couple of tries to light until you get all the air out of the system.
I don't know about mounting it on rubber. That may be OK but, remember the furnace gets hot and you don't want the rubber to get smoking.
