    18’ 290BH furnace - no heat

    18’ 290BH
    Furnace worked as expected about a month ago. Turned the furnace on last night while camping, blower started but only cool air from the vents. Runs for approximately 3 minutes and turns off. It will not restart. Fuse is fine. The furnace exhaust on the outside had a very heavy propane smell. I don’t think that I herd the pilot light fire off but I’m not really sure what I’m listening for as we have only had a need to try it out these two times.

    Ideas are appreciated.

    I am fairly capable with DIY, Is this something that I can address myself?

    Are you sure that you have propane? You can still get propane smell from empty or near empty tanks.

    I am 100% positive propane is not empty. Stove works as expected.

    In the white rectangular search box (upper right on this page) type in "furnace" (no quotes) and then click the small magnifying glass icon. There are dozens of posts that may have the answer.

    (I'd help but I am not knowledgeable in this area.)

    Resolved

    I am aware of the search functionality.
    Initial search results returned 3,200+ threads. Of those 3 were specific to our model. I realize that models more than likely share components but none of the suggestions (reset thermostat, clean pilot, clean tubes, etc) resolved my issues.

    I took the trailer to local service provider and they determined a faulty circuit board. It has been replaced under warranty and I will pick up the trailer this week.
