Have a new 3665RE and the heater will run for about 3 min. then shut off, then in about 4 min will start heating again, thermostat set at 68, it is about 50 degrees here,looked for adjustment.The factory and dealer have never heard of this!! I bet someone out there has. thanks

Could be low voltage, restriced airflow,in the space, or in the intake or exhaust, dirty flame rod,(clean with steel wool or sandpaper, it's in the flame area), also the thermostat may be defective, pull it, jump the heat and power wires together to test.
Good luck

When I picked up our 3665 from Camping World, was getting break in damage repaired, our heater did the same thing. I light the stove, which worked fine, to make sure there was gas. When I dropped it off I had both tanks full, and turned off. When I got it back both where open, and it turns out the first bottle was almost empty. Switched to other bottle, and heater worked fine.

We have a 2007 Monty 2955RL, and it used to do the same.
I recall reading some RV Magazine and it outlined this problem.
Our trailers have basement heating, and this heat finds it way in all
the nooks and crannies including up into the walls.
Carefully remove your thermostat from the wall and you will probably
find a hole in the wall the size of a 50 cent piece. The heat from the basement
will come through this hole into the back of the thermostat, and this in turn
will cause it to cycle off. I jammed a wad of butyl tape in the hole, then
placed a small piece of duct tape over the hole with just a little slit
in it to go over the wire. Replaced the thermostat unit and no more
short cycling problems.
