Roadtrek Furnace Help

[pasusan]

The furnace in our 2004 170 has started acting up. The fan was making a bit of vibration noise once in a while then would clear up after a couple minutes. Last time I ran it it started really screeching.

Sounds to me like the fan (or motor).

Anyone know if I can get at it without removing the whole furnace?
And if not how to remove the furnace....

It is a Suburban NT-16SE.

We had the same furnace, and now the quieter version of it, in our 07 190P.


I think on all models, it has to be removed, as ours was, but it is not a very hard job to do.


Basically you remove the register, unscrew the furnace flange, disonnect the gas line and wiring which are probably wire nutted, pull (hard maybe) and it will slide out.

Thanks Booster for the quick reply!

At least it sounds do-able. I was afraid I'd have to take out the floor of the wardrobe...

For the quieter one - would that be the RP-16NEQ?

That sounds like the number we used. Certainly not silent, but more of a rushing air sound now. The original sounded like a Jet taking off.
