I have never used the gas heater. When I got the RV I had to take it apart and clean it. It was noise and a nest had been built in the unit. In fact it was a good thing it was noise since it might have caught on fire since it was full go paper. I had to realign the fan since it was rubbing. I had nite tried it until last nite since I was also replacing the stove and could not until I got the new burners installed. I got it heating last nite but it took about 8 tries to get it to lite and it quit over nite. I tried to restart it this morning and it would not start. It cycled off and on but did not start. I reset it and it did the same thing. Any ideas. It is 18 degrees outside here in Decatur AL at 8am.
I am planning leave tomorrow for Alumni GMC Rally. I guess I can use electric heater like I did in NY last year but 30's at nite is allot colder then lower upper 40's we had in NY last summer.
