Hi all,
Just got back from first camping trip of the summer. The weekend was almost a complete success. It was still a good trip regardless and hopefully next time my littlest one (3 1/2) rides his bike without training wheels. The reason for not a complete success, the first night all went well but the second night my furnace wouldn't fire up. I have a 2005 Jayco 806 popup and the furnace is a self starter. It makes all the proper noises like it's going to start, fan starts up, and then I hear the clickety click click when trying to light the propane but nothing happens. After 3 or so attempts it stops trying for a period of time(not sure how long). At first I thought no more propane so I swapped it out for my second FULL tank. I adjusted thermo and it made all the right noises again but wouldn't fire up. To force a retry I shut off thermostat and then turn back on immediately. I did this attempt 3 times (9 attempts to start) and sure enough it eventually fired up. Once proper temp was attained it shut off like it should but then would not fire back up again. It returned to the same thing, fan would turn on and clickety click click but no startup. I didn't bother to force a startup this time as the temp wasn't that bad plus I figured something wasn't quite right and needs looking at. Now that I'm home I checked both propane tanks and found both still have propane in them. Anyone know why/what my furnace is doing to not fire up.
If you need any further info let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
