    Repair Issues

    Thanks for your response!! Our issue with this trip was not the furnace. We were in the mountains in Arkansas and it was in low 30's in the mornings. I set the thermostat at 65 and the furnace ran all night and never warmed the coach to 65. The reason we discovered was the North wind...
