We have a 2000 Montana 5th wheel that we keep down at our property. We mainly use it for a break room and to keep tools in until we build a house there. We bought the 5th wheel 2 years ago for this purpose, and before we took it down to the land, we had it gone over by a local rv shop (now closed due to retirement), and every thing worked fine. This week I replaced a piece of flex duct running to the bedroom, and since it's getting cold I thought I'd fire up the furnace (a Suburban SF-35F, s.n.000705372) just to make sure it works if we need it. (We used the ac when we needed to take a break from clearing brush often this summer, with the generator).
Anyway, after checking to make sure we didn't have any mice nests in and around it (it's out in the country in the middle of 43 acres of woods), I tried it, but no luck. Checked the battery, and it was too low, so I put a good battery in. The digital thermostat came on, and I turned the heat up to 76 to blow the system out, leaving the lp off. No fan, no nothing. I checked the fuse and it's ok. I went ahead and turned the gas on just in case I was thinking backwards, but that didn't help either. So, the thermostat lights up, and lets me switch hi/low fan, adjust the temp, but no fan, no click, no nothing. The battery was showing 12 volts when I metered it. My question is, what is the procedure to troubleshoot this OR what is the first thing you all would consider checking. Since I have no schematics for this trailer, and the wiring is pretty non-descript, I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to trace the wiring. Also, this rig doesn't have an outside access to the furnace and it's crammed under the sink. How the heck do you even get in there to check anything out? I took the 'front' (inside) faceplate off to check the burner area, but I have no idea how a person gets into the far side of the furnace where the gas valve and electrical connections are. Any and all ideas, pointers or links to a walk through or manual on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lee
