Need some help on my 1995 Damon Hornet 27T

[Cantdrive55]

Hi all, I just picked up a very nice looking 1995 Damon Hornet for a steal. Inside looks pristine. I've had to replace some burnt bulbs so far (1076 bulbs are hard to find) but it's too cold to do too much to the trailer. I have a couple questions that Google hasn't helped with. First, previous owner had no keys. How can I re-key the door lock and deadbolt? Second, I cannot get the Atwood LP furnace to start. The thermostat had a blown fuse so I replaced it and now the air unit in the roof comes on, but the furnace still does not start. The existing thermostat is a Coleman, but not a Coleman Maxx. Last question, I promise.. If I remove the dead battery from the unit and plug it in, will the missing battery have any effect on the rest of the systems? Thanks for helping me out on my first TT.

The heater takes quite a bit of gas to operate. Make sure your tanks have plenty of gas in them. Things like your stove and frig will work on low gas volume, but not the heater. Also make sure the tanks and regulator are not frozen. Past that, good luck!

I tried to rekey tt locks and none of the local locksmiths would touch it. It was easy and fast to replace the whole lockset deadbolt unit. Additionally, do a search for rv lock recall. There is one that needs the cylinders replaced. The company sends you the cylinders and the tool to do it.

it will work fine with the battery removed, make sure to tape the wires to prevent shorting out, and mark the post they come off of…
congratulations on your scoring your new trailer…
