Welcome to the forum.Originally posted by 1evaughn View Post
Your furnace motor should be accessible by removing the cover on the outside where the furnace exhaust is. You will have to reseal this cover when you reinstall it.
What problem are you having?
Also I would caution you to remove your email address from your post. If you are not familiar with how a forum works a person posts a question or comment and then all members can contribute.

Your Imagine's model number should be on a sticker right near the front door.Originally posted by 1evaughn View PostForum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.

Very similar floorplan to my 315RLTS. Your heater should be in the hutch behind the front panel on the street side. It exhausts out the side of the camper.Originally posted by 1evaughn View Post
This picture was taken for an electrical project, but you can clearly see the heater under the hutch:
This is an outline of a heater that is probably very similar to what you have.
The PDF it came from isn't helpful on how to disassemble the heater.
Taps out my knowledge on this topic. Hope it helps.Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.

As you can see, we do not have a removable panel on our hutch.Comment

Sorry--I'm not familiar with the Imagine interior. I'm 99% sure that's where the heater is located. The picture below is from google and clearly shows the exhaust.Originally posted by 1evaughn View Post
Call GD Customer Service tomorrow to get details on how to access.

Hello 1evaughn, Howard’s hutch panel was not meant to be removed also, but some do remove and then replace them to do work to the furnace, electrical, etc. the panel on the outside of your unit would be where the furnace is removed if needed to be repaired. Some repairs may be able to be done though by removing the hutch panel also. If your having an issue with your furnace, and are not familiar with it, you may be better of having a technician look at it. A mobile tech may be an option if necessary. I have not had to work on mine yet (Knock on wood). Good luck!Originally posted by 1evaughn View PostSteve, Sue, and pups Sky & Sierra

On the 315RLTS GD made it easy, Steve. There is a panel with about 8 of the typical Robertson screws holding it in place.Originally posted by Steve7 View Post
I'm actually shocked that 1evaughn 's 2950RL appears to not have this access. Wouldn't that cabinet get hot without access to cool ambient air? That was the issue with the 313RLTS and early 315RLTS' until GD put slots in the panel.
I hope the OP follows up and let's us know the answer.Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.

My 2017 297RSTS does not have the slats either. To remove the panel, I would have to push them in. I know Jim has done this. I did do some heat mitigation though by applying heat resistant material on the wall behind the furnace, and I did that by reaching through the drawer slots after removing the drawers. It wasn’t easy. I have my opinions now about the heat build up. Most of the time (or all), we use the furnace when it’s cold outside (makes sense huh). During this colder weather the walls do not heat up like it would if the furnace is on when it’s warm ambient air.Originally posted by howson View Post
