CHECK AND SEE IF THE INTAKE IS FREE. MUD DOBERS LOVE TO PLUG UP HOLES. IF THE AIR INTAKE IS FREE CHECK AND SEE IF YOU ARE GETTING VOLTAGE THROUGH THE GAS VALVE. IF YOU ARE GETTNG VOLTAGE THEN TRY BLOWING INTO TE VALVE WHEN POWER IS APPLYED TO SEE IF THE VALVE IS OPEN.

Where to start. Last night my heater was working just fine. Then this morning around three it just clicked off. Like it was out of Propane. I should mention my Forest River 5th wheel is only six months old. We are living in WY and are snowed in and I cant get it out to get it 100 miles to dealer we bought it from. Anyway. When I turn it on, it blows and there is a clicking noise, then nothing. I have been reading tons of self help articles on these things. Am lost for the most part. I can't just go to my heater. I have to crawl under the stairs to even get a good look at it. *Tried this because one self help article said try turning it off then back on and see if it fixes it. Never did find that switch. I thought maybe it was running too hot and needed to cool down. I only ran it at night and kept it low on 55. Just enough to knock the chill out of the trailer. Any help would be great. I doubt its going to be fixed before nightfall, and boy its going to be cold.

Sincerely
Cj Crayne
