This subject has been covered at some length in various threads already, so this information will only supplement (and in some cases repeat) what is already known. Two threads that I know of are https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...winch-p-n-tsrk and https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...nd-xplor-221rb
The issue is the sensor that measures room temperatureis in the air conditioner return air duct, not the thermostat. (This is already well documented.)
I wanted to see this myself so an Imagine 3100RD owner was kind enough to let me look at their unit. The Imagine is equipped with two identical Furrion 14.5K Rooftop Air Conditioners, Model FACR14SA-BL. Trivia note: The air distribution box is a FACT12CA-PS. I cannot find a listing for this specific part on Furrion's website nor anywhere else that has a picture that looks exactly like the cover I saw in the Imagine. (Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the cover, but it has a filter screen just like my Coleman and a dump capability. I see nothing like it on Furrion's website.)
The sensor causing the issue is easy to identify by removing the filter cover and finding it amongst the wires in the duct. The wire has a ROOM SENSOR label. This is not the same as the FREEZE SENSOR wire (which also has a label).
The "thermostat" (there is one for each air conditioner) is a FACW12SA-BL Furrion CHILL® Single Zone Basic Wall Thermostat.
What I found interesting is that BOTH the living room and bedroom thermostats have a "HEAT" setting but only the living room thermostat controls the furnace. Setting the bedroom air conditioner on HEAT did nothing. I believe this is probably because the 12v command wires are not connected between the (optional) bedroom air conditioner and the furnace, but the thermostat still shows the setting.
Neither the bedroom nor the living room thermostats, when set on HEAT, turned on the air conditioner fans. At least not in the 5 minutes I ran the furnace as a test. (The owner is so new to their 3100RD they didn't even know the furnace ran on propane! Guess what I did for the next hour...).
If I can get my hands on a document related to the FACT12CA-PS it will be uploaded in a follow-up post.
