Heater

Bought a 2004 Montana 2950 on year end close out that does not seem to have a very strong blower on the heater. My trade-in Prowler's blower was way stronger and I wonder if there is something wrong with my Montana. Anyone have a similar situation?

papamike,
All the furnaces on the Montanas I've seen have very strong blowers on them. So if your's is not blowing VERY strong then there is something amiss. If under warranty take it back and have them make it right. If not under warranty then get a heater company guy to look at it. May just need a new motor. Maybe wiring is loose or not wired correctly. But the heater should be blowing VERY strong.

Good Luck.

You could also have some of the ducts disconnected. That will give you very low air flow. Our heater has stong air flow.

I had really low flow on mine also. Checked out the connections of the ducting and found it loose at the heater itself. Fixed it and much better now. ( This is a brand new unit )

Also had the air duct come loose at the heater, their attachment of the duct was very poor, fixed it myself and know it will not come loose again.

Which outlet are you measuring the low flow from? On mine, the two end outlets flow quite well, but the ones in the middle flow very little. We use 1,500 watt ceramic heaters instead, and they keep the trailer very toasty, without using up the propane!
