We just got home from our first 4,500 mile trip with our 2019 Thor Vegas 24.1. Overnight temps were sometimes down to the low 30’s and our new furnace would not run consistently. We had propane (valve open) and ran the stove burner to purge lines. It would attempt to light with random success. Sometimes it heated the rv and then shutoff, next time not. The ignitor was working and the blower came on, but when it didn’t light - no heat and it would shut down. I called a mobile tech (26 years in the business) when several Thor authorized repair places told us they couldn’t even look at it for 2-3 weeks. He said the Dometic/Atwood furnaces have a metal pipe fastened to the unit from the factory. During the buildout of the RV, workers are using that as a “handle” to carry it to the install site and to manuver it into place in the RV. In the process it can get just slightly bent, which can cause the gas to be restricted part of the time. He took a screw driver and bent the pipe a very tiny bit. It worked for the rest of our trip. It is at the dealer now for a long list of warranty issues and I have to find out how to submit the tech bill to Thor for reimbursement.
