Title: Ready to go!!!!!
Post by: 4-Barrrel on May 13, 2007, 04:13 PM
We are ready to go. We packed up the camper, all I have to do is fill it with water.. We will be going on our 1st dry camping trip next weekend. The wife and I re-lined all our fishing poles and packed them in the camper. I went through and checked the water heater, I got it to light. I also got the fridge to light... I tried to light the furnace, but was not succesful. During initial start-up it would ignite but after auto ignite stops it will not stay lit.  I do not have an owners manual. I do know the propane is getting low, I was thinking that is probably the cause.

 Any suggestions?

You might want to consider filling the water tank after you get where you're going. Towing with the tank full adds a lot of weight.

A low propane tank can certainly cause the furnace not to stay lit. It uses a lot of propane.

Also, you should never light your water heater unless it is full of water.

Have a great trip :tent:  :D

I have to fill before I leave, there is no water where we are going.  I am only going 20 miles.
