My wife and I are planning our maiden voyage of our new 33RES. Took delivery in early October, ambient temperature was high 70's and had to let is sit until now. (Waiting for a new addition to daughter's family)
Right now, it is sitting in the driveway getting ready for the trip. Current ambient temperature is 31F with expected temperatures mid 40's to upper 20's during voyage.
We have the furnace running and based on our past two travel trailers the operation seems different.
Blower is running constantly, but burner is starting and stopping on what I'm guessing is the high temperature limit switch.
Checked duct work and it appears clean. (Took leaf blower and back blew from floor registers to furnace and air came blowing out. Had duct work disconnected from furnace)
Put thermometer in floor registers and temperature varies from a high of 120F to low of 85-90F
Being that this is largest trailer that we've had with this type of furnace is this normal?
Our past trailers the furnace would start and the burner would appear to run continuously until the thermostat would shut it down.
It is interesting that our 24 ft trailer had three floor registers, our 27 ft had four 4 in. registers and this 33 ft. has three floor registers fed via three four inch flexible ducts.
Our past two trailers also had a different manufacture furnace than this one.
Sorry for the wordiness, guess just trying to figure this out.
Thanks for any thoughts.
