Dave Mazone Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 SOLVED! This subject must have been covered, but the search bar is not easy! Went camping this past weekend and the heater worked for one day. After that, I could restart the thermostat, then heater would blow heat for less than a minute before shutting off. Had plenty of propane and it was plenty cold. I was near sea level too. Anyone know what's up and how to fix it? Very easy once you know what and where the sail switch is. Mine was stuffed with dog fur (by-product of my Akita).

Ray Kimsey Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I am not sure on the heater issue, but the best way to search the forums is to use Google Search with your terms for searching and also include: site:olivertraveltrailers.com/forums 1 2019 Ram 1500 5.7L V8, 3.92 axle ratio - 2020 LEll - Hull676 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnwen Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Dave, Are you sure it produced heat? If the blower shuts off 20 secs after startup with no heat it's most likely the sail switch. If the igniter lights and you feel heat and then shuts off, it's another problem. That's my experience. The sail switch, if that's the problem, is fairly simple to remove from outside the trailer and see if it's gummed up with lint, etc. Oliver service was very helpful with instructions. Best of luck :) John 1 Oliver II #996 "Bessie", 2019 Silverado LTZ 5.3, Veterans https://wenandjohnsadventure.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mazone Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 You're right, no heat. Based on their furnace troubleshooting, I do believe it's the sail switch. I'm looking into the restof it. Thank you. 1 Dave & Terri Mazone 2022 LII Hull #1019 TV: 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD diesel, Crew Cab (4WD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mazone Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 Hi, me again. Maybe it's not solved. Worked once, stalled again. Opened it up and cleaned it again, but saw no debris. It worked again...once. It would intermittantly work if I reset the thermostat, but continues to fail. Any ideas on what to do with this problem?

Mainiac Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Shut off both propane tanks. Wait a few seconds. Then SLOWLY turn a tank on. Sometimes(?), turning on tank to quickly will jam the regulator. May not work, but nothing to loose??? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to try and see if it works. 1 Hull #1291 Central Idaho 2022 Elite II Tow Vehicle: 2019 Tundra Double Cab 4x4, 5.7L with tow package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
