Furnance Fan Question

With so many campers now having an electric fireplace I would like to be able to circulate the air throughout the camper to include the underfloor heating.

Is there a way to operate the furnace fan on thermostat without having the furnace burner kick on? And can the furnace fan be controled in a high and low speed?

I’m not going to say no, but I think it would involve a lot of wiring and modifications that might not be worth the trouble. By the time the furnace drew in the air and it went through the cool/cold plenum I doubt the air coming out would be warmer.

What Chuck said. Also I'm not aware of any trailer furnace with a multispeed furnace motor.

Well if you are looking for freeze protection, unless you have a small well insulated trailer that 1,500 watt heater will not. Keep you rig warm in freezing temperatures.

It can be done, The cheap Heat system only activates the furnace blower, along with the electric heating element, but has a control board that does it.
