New Cougar - Furnace wont heat above 60
Just took delivery of a brand new Cougar 33SAB travel trailer. For some reason the furnace will not heat the inside of the unit to more than about 58-60 degrees... its been about 25 degrees overnigh...

So I pulled the rear panel off the unit -- its an SF-20FQ... which pisses me off because I specifically asked two different people at the dealership and was told it had a 30,000 btu furnace. :-\
Anyway, this is a 37' long camper with 3 slides -- is this just simply not enough furnace for me?
Our TT is 29' (including the A-frame) with one slide. Has a 20K Btu furnace but have not checked the label. 20K Btu is borderline for our length in my opinion from what we have experienced.
Can't find furnace specs for that model. What does whatever info you have say it should be? Never, ever trust what an RV dealer tells you.
Many TTs have poor insulation, esp. in the ceiling where you can find voids and compressed insulation. I would hazard a guess that the quality of workmanship in the insulation is not the greatest. Could check by taking a skylight trim, speaker, etc. however not anything you do can do about it. Slideout floors aren't insulated and 3 of them will increase heat loss a bit.
