- Why Choose Us
Why Choose TM RV Service for RV Furnace Servicing Care
Recreational vehicle furnaces are complex forced-air heating systems combining 12-volt electrical controls with high-pressure propane combustion. A sticking sail switch prevents the gas valve opening, while a dusty blower squirrel cage restricts airflow and drains your battery bank. Even worse, cracked heat exchangers risk venting lethal carbon monoxide into your living quarters. TM RV Service brings specialized RV furnace maintenance directly to your campsite or driveway in Tucson and Benson. Our certified technicians test gas pressure, clean burner tubes, inspect heat exchangers, and test safety cutoffs, ensuring reliable, odorless, and completely safe heat whenever winter comes.
Sail Switch Tests
We check and clean the RV furnace sail switch and verify that adequate combustion airflow engages the contacts to allow the gas valve to open and ignite reliably.
Heat Chamber Test
We methodically inspect the combustion chamber and heat exchanger for cracks, corrosion, and rust perforations, ensuring that carbon monoxide cannot leak indoors.
Burner & Orifices
We disassemble the burner assembly, remove mud dauber nests and desert spider webs, clear the gas jet orifice, and calibrate spark electrode gaps for clean burns.
Blower Wheel Care
We clean the blower squirrel cage fan wheel, remove dust buildup, lubricate motor bearings, and test 12V DC operating amp draw to prevent excessive battery drain.
- FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend scheduling annual furnace maintenance every fall before cold desert weather sets in across southern Arizona. Annual servicing clears settled dust, spider webs, and debris, ensuring safe, reliable ignition on freezing winter nights.
If the blower runs but the burner does not ignite, the sail switch has likely failed to close due to low battery voltage, lint on the paddle, or a blocked exhaust port. The furnace control board prevents gas flow until full airflow is verified.
A sail switch fails when dust, hair, or desert grit builds up on its microswitch paddle, preventing it from swinging shut under airflow. Low coach battery voltage also slows the blower fan below the threshold speed required to close the switch.
Yes. Southern Arizona mud daubers and spiders frequently build nests inside the furnace exhaust vents and burner mixing tubes. These obstructions starve the combustion chamber of air, causing rough ignition bangs, heavy soot, or total shutdown.
Yes. Our mobile technicians inspect the RV furnace heat exchanger for rust, metal fatigue, and hairline cracks where hot exhaust fumes could leak into the cabin air. We also verify clean propane combustion and check your interior CO alarm unit.
