Was in New Mexico last week and although the days had record breaking heat, the nights were the typical cold (well not quite as cold as February normally is but that is another story - but I digress).
We noticed this in January when we were using the coach but thought it to be normal for the larger heater - much larger than in the coach we traded. However, this time I decided to see if that was the case - found that the vent located in the stairs was directing warm air directly onto the thermostats. The furnace would kick on, heat would start and the furnace would shut off the propane, unit would cool down properly and the fan would shut off. About 30 seconds to a minute later the process repeated. The bedroom never got warm, the coach itself stayed very frosty. So, I put a towel over the vent and now the furnace stayed on until we got heat through out the coach and everything warmed up. Took the towel off later to retest with the same results.
As it gets very warm in that area (heater ducts to the basement and forward area) I need to find something that is non-flammable but sturdy to put in there. Was thinking of a 'shuttered' vent so we could open or close it but there is really no need for that vent at all given that the bathroom has a vent less than a foot away from this one. Then within another two or so feet is one for the bed room. LM sure didn't waste any tubing running vents very far.![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
In any case, thought I'd bring this up in case anyone else is having a similar issue.
