House Heating Systems Questions

[nicodemus815@...]

We are in beautiful Zion National Park on 30 amps. On our '86 PT, only the
electric heater in the bathroom works. The heaters in the front and kitchen
don't do anything when I turn their knob. I have flipped the circuit breakers
in
the closet, played with the thermostats, and switched the inputs for the shore
power (water heater vs convertor). Is there anything else I need to do before
I start checking voltages, etc?

The front propane heater doesn't put out heat either. The fan turns though.
Is there a reset button? What is the ignitions source for these heaters? BTW,
the LPG line is turned on at the heater, and the thermostat over the sofa is
on.

After almost tearing the refrigerator apart, because I couldn't get it to run
on propane, then discovering the propane detector needs to be on for propane
to flow, I'm leary of taking apart anything without checking with you guys
first! I was running around for 15 minutes trying to get the other LP heaters
to
work, until I remembered the switch on the dash:-)

Steve, Have youe flipped on the appropriate switch (air
conditioning) in the control cluster above the drivers left, they
are dual purpose?

Bingo!

Thanks Roy. The front electric heater came on. The center and rear didn't,
but they may be on a different leg, and it is still too dark here. I'll check it
out after the sun comes up.

Steve, if you had paid attention and listened while here, you would have
known that. Of course, all you did was sleep and eat Lynn's cooking, so
I really can't blame you a bit.......see you in January....Blair

Jeez, I forget one little thing out of a 3 day lecture!

Maybe I forgot 2...is there a switch to turn the LPG heater on under
the sofa? The fan only blows cool air.

Steve- do you hear the ignitin sequence when you turn your heater on? There
should be a valve in your outside refer access panel. Ernie-83pt40 in 28
