Furnace Sub. SF-30F fan speed affected by electric service?

I'm experiencing fluctuation in current coming to RV from electric box - it affects my coffee maker (very bad - must wait too long!!!) but sometimes it's ok. I do rely on my furnace - but wonder if the current coming to that is affected as well and is it adverse to fan speed? Don't know if it's an issue, but wondered. Others in my campground said they experience electric fluctuations as well. I worry because if fan speed is too slow it could cause enclosure to become too hot . . . ? Grandmashome

Get a small voltmeter ( a few dollars at WalMart
or other stores, or borrow one from a neighbor
or the management of the park)......plug it in
and see what your voltage is......should be between
say 110 volts and 130 volts........will decrease
as you add load.........if it changes withOUT
you changing load (or an automatic change such
as an airconditioner cycle on/off), there is
a power problem with the circuit feeding your R V.
Have the campground get that repaired.

And:
Your furnace blower runs on 12vdc not ac. That may be battery/converter problem.

I spoke to the campground management - they will come and check when it stops raining. I also have a problem with the low energy use heater I have plugged into the 110V separately not running through the RV. My RV is 30 amp.
