ive never had a popup with heat .Ive bought a 1995 coleman utah you guys have helped me fix many problems thanks ,heres another on got my stove to light and work no problem my heater pilot light is lit but furnace is not lighting there are a couple of switches in the compartment were you light the pilot im not sure what they operate or do i have no manual. also one other problem is the thermostat had been broken a taken off .The furnace should still light though right?? also could i just tie the 2 wires together to bypass the thermostat and just force the blower to come I just want an easy way to test if everything is working .I plan on getting a new thermostat one other question does the blower have to be on for the furnace to work

You didnt mention what brand of furnace but yes you can bypass the T-stat by putting the 2 wires together and blower should come on first before the gas comes on. 1 switch may be a reset for the control board and the other a on/off.You can find a manual for your 95 Coleman here.Good Luck .

ive got the pilot to light or at least i think its only the pilot light its quite small but there is a pipe that goes up from it that insulation is rapped around it that gets hot the blower works but only cold air blows and the hot air vent outside is only blowing cold air so im asumming the main burner is not on can anyone help what should be the first things i check to narrow down the problem

i bypassed the thermostat by tying the two wires together the blower came on then the heater came on works great for about 2min then the fuse blows anyone have any idea what this could be

What brand and how old is furnace?  Newer furnaces don't have a pilot light. :)

Are you sure you aren't lighting the refrigerator?  I doubt that your furnace has a pilot light.:)

You can get the make and model off the furnace and go here for a manual. It makes it a lot easier if you have the directions.

The furnace manuals are down past the fridge manuals.

That is an AWESOME site! thanks!  

Someone gave me a Dometic 3 way fridge they salvaged from an old PUP they demolished for a flatbed trailer.  I'm hoping sometime this winter, we can figure out 1 - does it work? &  2 - can we install it in the Starcraft?   this info is exactly what I needed to get us closer to that! THANKS!
