How to work/ use a furnace

[Justinb]

I have a outback 27rdrs I see we have a furnace and exhaust as well as vents on the floor. We have no thermostat just dials on the AC unit to control the AC but I see no way to use the furnace.

I see some have a digital remote is there any what to tell if that's what I need and replace it?

Thanks Justin

Wall t-stats included......except SF

That just means wall t-stat is 'extra' not part of furnace package

Remote is special for Outback Models.

SO you get another remote......

Or pull furnace completely out. Remove remote sensing unit. Needs wiring run to new wall t-stat (could be pain due to accessibility), a new wall t-stat and a wiring diagram (should be one for SF in that manual------just need to figure out if you have timed delay or module board SF

I'd check with Keystone first

That's a Suburban SF-30F furnace.

The manual: http://www.bdub.net/manuals/Suburban_Service_Manual.pdf

One of the first things I noticed in the manual was "Wall Thermostats are included in all models, except SF"


You may be in trouble; you may need to find the remote.

So the AC runs off the controls on the unit and the heat ran off the remote even though the holder lists both heat and AC. Guessing the remote is either lost or tucked away some place..good luck.

This was all I could find.

This is all I could find.

Probably. See if you can access the furnace and find the make and model and post it.

[Justinb]

So I'm thinking they have replaced the AC unit so now no thermostat to run the furnace. Is there a way to run a cheap new thermostat to run the furnace?

hulster on the wall. ??????


Would that be a 'holster' ?
Like a wall mounted bracket for the remote?

The remotes were only available on Outback Models with Carrier AirV A/C Units.

Tried to post pictures but got that message and don't see option in my prefernces

[Justinb]

The AC unit looks very basic can't believe it would have a remote but I do see a hulster on the wall. We live in flordia so rarely need the furnace but would be nice any way to over ride remote?

Per Keystone:

Heat only wall t-stat, but could have AC/Heat wall t-stat OR no wall t-stat and only a 'remote'

Generic Owners Manual


So looks like you need a remote.......call Keystone customer service with your trailer VIN and info. They should be able to tell you what you need, if available, part number etc.
Then you will have to go thru an 'authorized dealer' to get part as Keystone does not sell to public.

Customer Service

Good luck.....

I would just prefer a wall t-stat!!!!

In many cases the wall thermostat is setup to work both units. Is there a Heat/Cool slider switch on the T-Stat?

[GordonThree]

There's a wall thermostat somewhere in there, as it needs to sense the air temp and switch things on and off.

Did you buy the camper used, sight unseen? Have the previous owner / dealer demo the furnace for you.
