Hello,
I was pleasantly surprised last winter when I discovered that my furnace still functioned in the GMC. I do not use the coach at all in the winter, but I would like to preserve the furnace in case it is something I would like to use in the future. My question is a bit of a philosophical one. Should I run the furnace a few times each winter as a sort of maintenance or should I just ignore it. Which would theoretically give my furnace longer life? I doubt it was used much by the original owner so I am tempted to keep up the ignoring.

I think keeping it exercised is better. But if you run it, run it long enough to fully evaporate the combustion moisture.
