Re: return air on fifth wheel
Old-Biscuit wrote: RV furnace recirculates inside air. Furnace sucks air from interior back thru the 'return' then warms it by passing it thru the furnace heat exchanger and discharging it thru the floor registers Cold air return becomes warm air return as interior of rv warms up until t-stat set point is met. DO not obstruct/restrict return air flow....that will cause furnace to overheat from lack of proper air flow and it will trip Light bulb....never heard of that, don't see need as interior air being recirculated it will warm. Course it won't hurt anything. Just don't see the real benefit.535Views0likes0CommentsRe: return air on fifth wheel

Realizing that you cannot restrict the vent air flow, I choose to have my furnace encased with plywood and I attached heat resistant insulation to that plywood. That was 9 years ago and my furnace works fine with minimal draft coming from my uninsulated storage compartment where the furnace is located. wouldn't make the motor overheat,my furnace isin the corner of the compartment but the motor has a open vent. did you vent it some how? thanks535Views0likes0Commentsreturn air on fifth wheel
My 2006 keystone montana has slots cut out under the bottom steps which i assume is for return air it goes into the compartments. When running the furnace say it's in the 30's. I believe i get a fair amount of cool air from the slots as i do with floor ducts say 70//30. Should i put a light bulb in the compartment, close a few of the slots, and i don't think i should close them up. Any ideas? Thanks4.6KViews0likes12Comments
