  • No heat on 2021 GD Solitude 310GK-Location of air intake?

    Can't get a guy here to look into it until next Tue. I suspect the sail switch is either fouled or no good.
    I'm trying to determine where the air intake is to the furnace from the unit itself. I have 4 furnace outputs, 2 into main living area, 1 in bathroom, 1 in bedroom. I can't find where the furnace draws air from though. I want to check this area for dog hair, etc.

    Usually it is a screened in area behind the toilet or at the bottom of the wall by the bathroom. I do not think there is actually a duct attached to it like in a home furnace, it just draws air in around it and those screens go to the furnace area to allow air to be drawn in from the living space.

      Rob,

      Can you help with any input to the OP's question.

        All of the GD fifth wheels use the basement for air return to the furnace. In the 310GK, there is a passage under the bottom shelf in the pantry, above the toe rail at the bottom of the buffet, through the shoe cubby under the stairs, and (at least in ours), a small round return in the bottom of the cabinet by the toilet and shower. The furnace air intake is on the furnace itself in the basement.

        I hope this is what was being asked.

          Follow up.
          Mobile Tech said it was unlikely the return air intake vent being blocked. I never did find where the return air intake is but I suspect it is in the gap of bottom shelf of pantry.

          It turned out to be a bad board. They replaced it under warranty and charged me $35 for the service call.

          Just in time too, supposed to get down to 30 deg on Thu and Fri night! Crazy cold for this far south in Texas.
