Furnace left on while storing TT
I'm pretty sure I left my furnace in the on position in my TT this weekend and we are a two hour drive away. The gas is turned off so it won't be using gas but the battery is charged and hooked up so...

Had the exact same thing happen to mine. I had taken the motor home to the dealer to have some unrelated work done on the fridge and for some reason they turned on the thermostat while they were in there. I brought the rig home that night. The next morning I went out to hear the fan running. I could tell it was running because the bushings had gone out on the fan motor (from running non-stop for 14 hours or so) and it was squealing like a banshee. I ended up having to replace the motor. Granted this was not a new motor and it would have done the same thing eventually, but I certainly did not appreciate having the process sped up for me.
I would make the drive and turn it off if it's likely to be cold enough to kick on the thermostat. The gas won't run, but you may shorten the life of the motor.
Interesting....unfortunately I couldn't make the drive today and I'm not sure I can make it out this week.
