My furnace stopped working this tonight, it was working fine but when we noticed it getting cold we turned up the thermostat and nothing.... I do hear a one click, followed by another click about 20 seconds later. I checked the fuse and gas and both are fine (Fridge and stove are working on gas). It Is supposed to get down to 29 tonight but we have a portable which we can use for the night.
Any ideas on what it could be?

I take it the fan is not coming on at all when it clicks? May just be as simple as a loose connection at the furnace. Can you access it from outside the coach? If so, open the outer door and you'll see some wires, check to see if they are tight and making good connections. They had some issues with some of the crimp on connections a few years ago so check these closely. There are other causes but this may get you back in business.
If the fan is coming on and just blowing cold air it could be a number of things.

ps: the furnace works from the 12 volt battery, make sure it is fully charged and not part of the problem.

Correct, the fan is not coming on. I typically hear that "click" right before the fan turns on but now I just get the click. I will check the wiring in the morning.
Thanks!

At 29 be careful with your water, the LP heat will usually warm your water compartment as well, a portable will not do that....

Phil......I took the outside cover off moved some wires around and the fan turned on! We have heat! It is snowing pretty good right now so I am going to let the rig warm up before I go back out there and see which wire it is.
Thank you!

You're very welcome, happy to help and I am glad you got it going again. When we had our 5er we had the same issue. I ended up replacing all the wiring ends myself just to be safe.

ps: if you run into Steve, Joan, Herb and Christine again tell them Rudee and I said Hi. We all worked together last summer at Crazy Horse.
