Hello, we have a 2016 Landmark Syracuse, we have not used our furnace in over a year? We turned it on this morning and nothing? We checked propane, fuses, breaker and it will not turn on? What are we doing wrong?

When the thermostat calls for heat, the first thing that normally happens is a relay clicks (usually overhead), and the furnace blower starts up. It may take 15-25 seconds for the blower to get up to speed before an ignition attempt is made.
So when you say "nothing", if you mean no blower and no relay click, then most likely no power is getting to the relay.
First thought: is this the same thermostat you've previously used to turn on the furnace. You probably have 2 or 3 thermostats - only one of them operates the furnace.
Second thought: check for a blown 12V DC fuse.
Third thought: if the thermostats are the same model, try swapping 2 of them to rule out a thermostat malfunction.
I used my 2018 M245 Furnace for the first time last week. It worked fine Monday and Tuesday but I had to use an electric heater on Wednesday and Thursday to keep the trailer at a livable temperature. Symptom is the fan kicks on, runs for maybe a minute or two then it shuts off. After a while, it cycles the same again. I brought the unit home Thursday afternoon and the furnace worked correctly once after I parked the trailer and then went into the fan cycling mode with no ignition. Any thoughts on what might be preventing ignition?
I contacted camping world and they can't get me in for a diagnostic eval for two weeks; then they need to request warranty authorization and then, if parts are needed, they will need to order parts to perform the repair. I purchased the trailer primarily for Fall camping and it sounds like this whole autumn season is going to be a bust.
Try lighting a stove burner to be sure there is no air in the lines. And if you recently got the rig, be sure there is actually propane in the tanks. First time we used ours, way back when, we found out that neither was actually full. Cold & wet day to learn that.

Mine died on me last year (after 9 years). Ended up being the circuit board.

We had similar symptoms to yours. Worked, didn't work, on and on! First Heartland sent me a thermostat. Didn't help. Got a mobile guy out and he replaced the board and igniter and even took it home and bench tested. Worked fine and we left for a 3-month trip. Started messin' up again. Called mobile tech in Columbia Falls, MT. A young guy came and the first thing he asked was did anyone check the propane flow? I said no and he ended up replacing the two stage regulator cause of low flow. Just saying! Oh and don't go to CW for repairs, ever imo!

If you look up RV furnace repair on YouTube, you can see there are only about four replaceable parts that can go bad. Trick is determining which one.
Appliances are warranted by their respective manufacturers. If it's a manufacturing defect in the furnace, Atwood would cover it. But if it's an installation problem, Heartland would be responsible.Is Heartland responsible for the warranty service on the furnace or is Atwood, as the furnace manufacturer, responsible? If it is Atwood, there is an RV service shop about 5 miles from me who is an authorized Atwood service shop.
