Title: LP failure

Our coach has been sitting idle for about 2 weeks. I switched on the thermostat and selected the furnace for both zones. The furnace fans start and run normally. After about 5 seconds the flames ignite and run for about 10 seconds then they go out. Same thing happens with both furnaces.

The hot water heater also just pops then resets.

Both my panel gauge and the tank gauge read about 60% full.

Any suggestions?

Re: [Country-Coach-Owners] LP failureGuessing here but wonder if the LP detector on the floor might have a problem?

Try resetting (on/off) the propane detector. This fixed my problem When I lost propane to stove and fridge.

My Inspire's LP Detector is an alarm only - - no shutoff feature.

Does the cooktop work? How about the reefer in LP mode?

My detector is the same, just a sniffer.
Both the cook-top and the LP fridge are working. I tried the furnaces again and now they're working. After about 10 tries the LP hot water heater is now working too.

Is this a failing regulator?

I was told on our coach that the LP detector will shut the propane system down when it detects a leak (not just of propane).
