Do you have problems keeping your RV comfortable and the
warm air inside? Do you know the parts you need to fix it? Well, you may be
having problems with your RV’s furnace. Although some fixes can be done with
just one RV part, it just might be time to replace and treat yourself to a
furnace that will warm your RV and keep you and your family toasty on all of
your journeys. RV furnaces and furnace parts can seem daunting at first to
anyone who hasn't ever had to replace on before, but with a little guidance and
information on the pros and cons of each kind of furnace, you’ll be able to
decide for yourself exactly what kind of heating system you want for your RV.
The two types of power for furnaces are gas and electric.
Many RVs come with gas furnaces, which run on propane or natural gas. Electric
furnaces are a newer concept, and can either be installed as an add-on to your
gas furnace or used to totally replace your existing gas furnace. Because of
convenience and safety, electric furnaces are beginning to gain more
popularity. For example, gas furnaces have the potential for carbon monoxide
leaks and aren't as environmentally friendly as electric furnaces because they
use fossil fuels. However, while it may seem like electric heaters are the way
to go, they cannot provide heat to your incidentals, like stove tops and ovens,
because many times those will only run on gas. Before you begin looking at RV
parts and furnaces, you should decide which furnace fits your RV and will work
the best for you—electric, gas, or a hybrid of the two.
The most important part of buying a new furnace is to
compare the BTU rating of the furnace you have and the one with which you
intend to replace it. The BTU measurement of a furnace stands for its British
Thermal Unit, and corresponds to the amount of heat required to raise one pound
of water by one degree Fahrenheit. You should try and stick to the same BTU as
the furnace that came with your RV, otherwise the furnace will short cycle.
Short cycling happens when the furnace turns on and off too frequently, which
will make you too hot or too cold, and cost you money by wasting energy. When
you’re considering a new furnace, remember: bigger definitely does not equal
better.
