If you are having this situation, the control board can become compromised and CAN try to turn on and off even if the heat is turned off at the thermostat!! Make sure that 1). the louvers are not there; 2). the cover has the full gasket installed; 3). the mounting and the cover caulking are perfect. |
Interesting. I've had both furnaces have issues because of water getting on the circuit boards. One was fried, the second this week kept trying to come on, removed the fuse and let the board dry out, working now.
I called them Atwood (Dometic) last week and was told the covers are designed correctly...vents facing inward...and they won't replace the covers. Also they would not sell me the relocation kits, said it was a dealer item only and I needed to take it in for service. Grrrrr.....
And lastly, can someone look at all four of their slides and confirm that they have a weather strip across the top of each slide and just underneath the topper? My sofa slide does not and it leaked in a heavy rainstorm this last week. First time in 2 1/2 years.
Thanks
