Usually when I click the thermostat to the ON position and the trailer is a bit cold, the fan will immediately come on....but the heat will slowly follow. Now, with plenty of power available from my home, I click the thermostat on and nothing. Should I check the fuses? Could it be anything else? Thanks, Lloyd

It could be a number of things. Start with the easiest and progress to the more difficult. Yes fuses and breakers should be checked first. Use a volt meter at the fan to see if the fan hasn't burnt out. Check the thermostat control so see if broken, wire corroded, loose wire. You can also use a volt meter at the therostat although I don't know what voltage it should read. After that I'm afraid I'd have to call my friendly RV technician.

Some furnaces have a reset button, its normally near the front so as to be easily accessed.
Might be an easy fix.....
