The furnace should be in the fuse box on the front of your dinette seat under the table. It will be a brown plastic panel that is hinged at the bottom.

Typical ford chassis fuse layout, in your chassis manual. For the furnace like the man said under your dinette seat. Does the fan work? Did you check the furnace wiring with a volt meter?

27K Furnace

Rick, In our 2015 27K the fuse for the furnace I believe is #5. It is a 12 volt,15 amp fuse, labeled as "Appliances" in the brown cabinet under the dinette seat. Attached is a filecontaining the wiring schematic for our coach, not very good but better than nothing.

Schematic

Rick, That is all of the file that I have for the electric.Call Thor Customer Service and ask for the schematics for your coach. Get the plumbing ones also. I have had much better luck working with Thor Customer Service than working with Camping World!!!
Have you checked the stat? I find it a little confusing and touchy. Is the propane turned on? Good luck. Please let us know what you find.
John

We're still relatively new to RV'ing, but I hope this helps. We recently ran into some issues with our Atwood furnace, and eventually was able to get it working after a very chilly weekend in Death Valley. Here are some ideas to try:

1. Confirm the gas is working by checking the propane tank level and main valve position. If full and open, light all of the burners on the stove to see if the system is able to provide high flow. If they all light, it shouldn't be a gas problem unless there is an issue with the furnace piping itself.

2. The Atwood furnace runs off of 12v. After confirming the fuse isn't blown, a likely cause is a battery issue. Without a battery charger to test and charge the batteries, we were able to get the furnace working after the drive home. Essentially running the coach for awhile may also solve your issue, or take a trip to get a battery charger.

Good luck!

I had camping world replace the furnace board, and it works until it rains!
then it will start and run for a few seconds then stops board wet again. Does any body have fix for this? we have had the RV for 5 months and only stayed 1 night NO HEAT
canceled 2 vacations. I can't be the only one with this problem

Rick, We had some pretty heavy rain yesterday (before it turned to snow last night) so I grabbed an umbrella and went out to see how the rain went down the side of our 27K in the area of the furnace. As far as I could see it ran straight down over the furnace cover. I did notice that the city water and cable hook ups are over the furnace, could the water be getting in there? Ours seem to be well sealed but there are other places in our unit they did a poor job of sealing and I had to redo them. Hope you get to camp soon!!
