Did I read correctly that you have a 15amp breaker in the box supplying power to the camper or it’s 15amp inside the power center?

Unplug from power source and open electric panel to access the LUGS where the large gauge electrical wires come into camper and make sure they are TIGHT.

Sounds like the battery is shot. Only thing keeping it going is the converter.

And it didn’t have enough juice while we was staying in it to run the thermostat but since we been gone a week it’s built up some juice maybe and nothing else was running when I got here and turned heat on and low and behold it worked. Had all intentions of changing thermostat cuz I thought it was bad.

Update… unhooked battery and cut shore power and battery was at 11.9. Replaced battery. Also checked leads from converter and it was 13.6 so I figured good to go. Cut everything back on and heat ran for about 30 min but still didn’t seem to get as warm as it use to. Cut heat off and went to help someone with something. Came back and tried to cut heat on and thermostat dead again.

Thermostat sounds like might have crapped out or has a short.

When the heater kicks on do you hear the furnace light as normal?

Just an FYI, In my camper I put a oil filled radiator heater and it is awesome for heating my 34’ camper. Works as well if not better than the propane heater, it has a thermostat and totally it’s silent.

Yeah it sounded like the furnace lit and was operating normal.
