It turned out to be an obvious that I didn't think of. I was thinking the furnace control and motor where 120 AC but it us 12 DC. I checked my house batteries and found them at 10.8 volts. I charged them overnight to 13.1 volt output and the furnace worked flawlessly. As a newbie to RVing I am learning everyday. Thanks again for your information...

Brakeman,
I'm glad you got to the root of the problem, sorry I did not include battery check in the sequence. Yes the system is DC but I was not aware that the batteries must be fully charged to run the heater/fan motor. I encourage you to keep all batteries charged especially during the winter months as they can freeze if they remain undercharged. Also do check acid/water levels in the batteries every few months. I leave my coach plugged in and charging does boil off some water.
Happy New Year to you and yours!
