Lack of Heat- my fix

[56Jeff]

2025 29rl

End of January, on the road, Gulf Coast Mississippi, it's 20 deg outside at 2am, my electric fireplace and RV heater been running for hours. The RV living room was 41, the belly was 116+ deg. (with side door open) went thru 2 tanks of propane in 3 days. not good

Now it March and we are back home in Texas, with time to figure it out. I spent $12 bucks on Amazon to get a Handheld Anemometer, so now I can see and compair measured values vs my back of the hand measurements and best guessing. 3 partial days of work in the RV, 2 trips to Lowes, 1 call to Carter at Alliance Support. ( heat system installed correct and as designed) We did some duct work re-routing and added a cabin vent, to send more heat to the RV Living area. 1 hour of testing showed the belly was significantly cooler and the RV inside living area temp rose much more quicker. We won't be cold again.
( We hope)

I did share in much detail what I found and did with Alliance, along with " this seems dumb" wording.

Always willing to share.

So I hope when you have the time after recovering from so much work, that you will share just how you improved your LR heating situation!

Just came back from a weekend camping. Did not get real cold but it was chilly enough to get the heater to run. Needed to check it out after installing the new Micro-Air thermostat. It worked great. Just never noticed the A/C unit fan kicking on with the heater. Seems I remember it did that in my old 5er also. Back to the subject at hand. There was some (used lightly) air flow fvrom the two side vents under the kitchen island. Will look into the ducting later.
Happy Glamping.

I will add, Alliance makes improvements frequently from what i hear, so what so what we all encounter and share, may not be an issue on your unit.

We still have the OEM Coleman T'stat and the air cond. fan has never ran with the propane furnace.
