Thanks everyone for your input!
Newman fulltimer- I hope your right cause that sounds easier than messing with the furnace, is there a way to test it before I go buy a new one?
SDcamperowneroperator- actually I recently moved from the mountains that where 2,134’ to hilly land at 1007’ and it does happen to sound loud and roaring, like a low altitude would cause. It did work fine (the two times I used it in the mountains) before the move. But sometimes it will work fine two times where I am now. Where would I be able tofind instructions on controlling the air flow?
Scott G- I would like to unturn every stone I can,I doubt theres lots of hours on it but if I find out where the thermocouple is I will clean it.
Wkamper- I will do that, I’m hoping the connections are the wires outside of it, or are you talking about some inside?
Old-Biscuit- I will attempt to do that, Do I have to open the whole thing up for that or should there be an access panel of some sort, from a quick look and uneducated assumptions it looks as though I have to mess with the sturdy propane pipe to at that. Also you have an awesome screen name.
mobeewan- It wasn’t purged. They never do that at the local ace. And my water heater sometimes does the same exact thing. The thing is it has been working flawlessly for the past week. But it has been doing the exact same thing. But the stove and oven have been perfect since I got the camper and I’ve been cooking on them for over a year
Terryallan-That was exactly my thinking when I first realized the problem, butunfortunately that didn’t work
Rbpru- Thanks, I will try to check out the spark gap. I wish there was a better manual
