Re: No heat in bedroom
Now appears that the issue may be a stuck float on the second stank, or the little steel ball is stuck inside. You would think they could make these things not so intricate and fragile. But then if valves and regulators lasted for ever, they'd probably be priced beyond value.537Views0likes0CommentsRe: No heat in bedroom
There's a circuit board, and taking the panel off the outside, I can see it. Those can go bad, but this unit is only 4 years old. Why on earth would all this stuff be going bad after only 4 years? That's why I'm unsure if it's because of the cold, partially or wholly. The service tech should be able to figure it out fairly quick. He's pretty good. And I replaced the regulator. The indicator has switched from red to green, whereas the old one was stuck on red.538Views0likes0CommentsRe: No heat in bedroom
That's good advice. What's happened since I started this thread was that the heat quit period. There's heat coming out of the exhaust, but with the thermostat set at 90, the metal of the registers started getting warm, but 4" above the registers the air was cold. We've got the $110/hr repairman coming out Monday morning, again, to try and figure it out. Also our water froze again. I think we need time with things working correctly to know what's going on. Right now, we don't know how much problems are caused by the fact that the nighttime temps are in the teens, and daytime temps barely above freezing, and what is actually problems with the 5th wheel.537Views0likes0CommentsRe: No heat in bedroom
Reading through the literature, we've found that our heater is a propane heater, not electric. Interesting that they should do this in a 5th wheel that has the arctic package. But anyway...when we were setting up our 5th wheel, it was discovered that there is a problem with the propane auto-crossover and the regulator. The red pop-up indicator that reveals the cylinder is empty was showing, and after I filled the tank, it didn't change. So, I s'pose we'll get a couple of electric space heaters and tackle the propane system tomorrow.257Views0likes0CommentsRe: No heat in bedroom
One day I popped into Chief's RV ( who sold us the 5th wheel) to talk to them about putting the hitch into the back of our truck. The guy (who looked a LOT like Ted Danson) asked "Are you going to live in it?" to which I replied, "Yes", and he said, "Wow (with a shake of his head) that's going to be really tough." "How so?", I asked, and he said, "The cold will getcha", to which I said, "We're relocating to Western Washington" and he got a blank look. One of the other guys chirped up, "He's from Idaho". All of us did knowing nods. Well, now we have Idahoan cold temps here in Western Washington. Could it be that our unit just can't keep up? It's supposed to have the arctic package, so you'd think it could. Rather than undertake an expensive search and fix, I think I'm going to buy an oil-filled space heater for the bedroom. That should make it fine.209Views0likes0CommentsRe: No heat in bedroom
Good common sense replies, all. Thank you. There is a good strong air current coming through the registers which tells me that the duct is alright. So, I turned the heat up from 65 to 80 and will stop by in the morning to see if it's like an oven. Of course, other thoughts, it could be that after living in a good cents house for the last 20 years, now we have the realities of thinner walls and insulation, and heating systems that leave us scrambling to find out where we packed the sweaters. I'm not sure what to expect pertaining to the heat. Should it be able to get really warm? It is winter outside with temps below freezing.209Views0likes0CommentsNo heat in bedroom
Hi! We have a 2009 Montana 3400rl 5wheel. We bought it used, and will be living in it for a year. The dealer we bought it from was supposed to clean it and check it out, but they didn't. Now we have issues. Most pressing is that there's no heat to the bedroom, but there is the to the rest of the unit. Any ideas? Thank you for any help you can give!3.9KViews0likes25Comments
