With the end of summer many people either head south or put their RV in storage until spring. But for winter camping, or cool mornings in the spring and late fall, a well maintained RV furnace is the easiest, safest and most effective way to heat your RV.

The older your RV is the more important routine maintenance becomes. Furnaces more than 5 years old should be inspected yearly by a certified RV technician.

Routine monthly inspection is a simple process, and can be done by you. The following is a list of what to inspect, and how to do it:

• Check your exterior vent If you find soot, your furnace is experiencing improper combustion. This is a sign of a carbon monoxide problem. Take to a RV service center for inspection and repair before you use the furnace again.
• Check your interior return air vents. They should be free of dust and not obstructed.
• Look at the furnace case (remove the return air vent). Vacuum any dust and dirt you see. Dust build up here will work into the interior switches and furnace blower motor and will prevent your furnace running at top efficiency.
• Check the heating ducts. They should be clean with no obstructions. Pay special attention to the duct connections at the furnace and the condition of the ducting. Cracked or loose ducting will cause warm air leaks, and inefficient heating. Dried or cracked ducting should be replaced.
• Test your carbon monoxide detector. If your RV is not equipped with one, get one! It is a cheap life insurance policy.

Your RV furnace operates on the 12 volt system so you don't need to be hooked up to electric to use it. Remember to have a generator, a charger, or an extra battery available because the furnace will drain the battery. The furnace is the biggest user of LP of all the appliances in your RV, so make sure your tanks are full before leaving on your trip, and check your propane level often while your furnace is in use.
