Surburban furnace Gj gerard 8-23-01  
The furnace(30m btu) in our 1990 Innsbruck trailer was only blowing out cold air even though the ignitor appeared to be working. after unit was removed and cleaned by an rv repair person at his suggestion, the furnace put out only lukewarm air. after two uses the air is cold again and the ignitor is no longer heard clicking. is this unit able to be repaired or is a new one necessary? if necessary, what would a new unit cost?

Here is one thing to check, make sure intake and outtake are clear and no sharp bend on tubes, it has to sense clear path...it will let burner run just a short time. But if know no ignitor clicks way valve may be stuck..or ignitor pwr came disconnected.
Look at prices at campingworld.com.

Bob,

I bought a Suburban furnace from camping world in '96 or '97 and it worked for 1 year. After the one year warrantee expired, I had to buy a $130 circuit board. This lasted almost a year. Then another circuit board. Now it has been working for quite a while. I am NOT impressed with Suburban. My $500 heater ended up costing more than $750!!
