Need Help. No Heat

Don’t have an Outlaw but assume it’s similar to other RVs. The overhead fan is unrelated. If you can hear the fan in the furnace (near the floor somewhere) then it suggests that the thermostat, wiring and circuit board are working (not for sure but likely). If you listen carefully you should be able to hear a sparking sound as the fire is lighted. If there is no propane in the line it will attempt to light several times and give up (it’s a safety thing). You need to turn it off at the thermostat and then back on whereupon it will try again. It might take several of these cycles to purge the lines if that is the problem. Does your stove light? That will tell you that the propane system is working - a useful bit of knowledge. The floor vents working sporadically might either be the system shutting down after failure to light or it might mean the control board is malfunctioning or there is an intermittent wiring problem. I’ve never had the problem but I’ve heard that the control board can malfunction if it has gotten wet but may work again after it dries out. I have no experience with that but I think the board lives outside and accessible by removing the furnace cover/vent. Hopefully someone more experienced than me can jump in. Good luck!
