Our 1997 Fleetwood Southwind has 2 furnaces, the front is 35k but. Rear is a 20k but. Both Atwood 8900 lll. We had it in at Lazy Days today, the tech tells me the rear is performing properly, DW feels that it is not producing enough heat. I checked with a thermometer made for purpose, right about 120 deg. Is this correct?
I had to replace the relay for the front furnace and their rules say they can't work on anything modified. Sure it isn't the original, but it is the same function. Anyway, that one I am ready to just replace, right now it won't stay lit, you can hear it try, but doesn't stay lit. Sounds like the flame is missing the sensor, or sensor bad, but I can't seem to get at it. The new Atwood 8500 lV is supposed to be the replacement, but some dimensions concern me, although the specs make me like it a lot.
Anyone ever do this swap?
