    5th wheel heater ??

    came back from my stand sunday morn to find my heater running but only cold air blowing. I didnt have time to mess with it , as we were headed back home after a quick shower and clean up. I turned it off and back on and it still blew cold, I assume it runs on gas (propane) ? It had plenty of gas cause the water heater and stove still worked. Im thinking some type of ignitor probably failed ? Has any of you-all ever messed with these units ? Its a thor wander , thanks

    I ran into the same problem with mine. I had to replace the ignitor board. Works great now.

      pretty straight foward task ? I can only assume its that. The thermostat works and kick it on......blower works, but no heat.

        Sounds like the ignitor board.

        I started using one of those oil filled radiator looking heaters in mine set on low. It keeps the camper comfortable & helps save some propane, & I always forget to fill the bottles until it's cold.

          electric may be the solution, its just the room to put it !! the ignitor boards are about $100 bucks :0

            Can you hear it "clicking" trying to ignite when you turn it on????

            The heater in my trailer was not working this past weekend and we were having the same problem as you, blowing cold. You could hear it "clicking" trying to light, but it never would. It would try to light 3 times and then stop trying.

            We ended up finding a dirt dobber nest where the gas lines ends internally where it lights in the coils. We cleaned it all out, put it back together and it lit right up. Took about 30-45 minutes worth of work to find the problem and get it all put back together.

            If it is not clicking then I would guess the ignitor or ignitor board.
