There is ALSO a lever for "fan only".
That means no matter if the heat lever or A/C lever is on it will ONLY just blow fresh air. You need to make sure the fan only is in the off position.

Delay Should only be for 3 minutes or so but if feels like forever and your brain immediately goes into 'oh no the furnace or A/C is broke'.
Furnace is usually under the stove. Position of furnace varies from RV to RV though.
Hot water heater and access to drain is behind a door on the side of your RV. That position varies also.
Hot water heater is behind a door on the side with a grate/screen also.
