Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
The heater fan draws a lot of power so my guess would be the battery went dead.
I'm assuming your RV isn't plugged in to shore power. If you are plugged in to shore power then the converter may be the problem. Make sure the breaker hasn't been tripped and check that it is charging the battery properly.
Make sure the battery has water if it can be filled, check connections to make sure no corrosion and they are tight.
If you have loose connections or corrosion your battery may not have been fully charged. Plus it can cause problems even if you are plugged into shore power, the converter may be charging but the bad connections are preventing the battery from receiving a full charge or providing full power.
I added a second battery to allow use of the heater when boondocking, with a single battery we were only able to use the heater sparingly to prevent a dead battery for lights and water pump.

Sounds like a battery issue. I installed a battery monitor so I can have a accurate read on how power I am drawing, charging, battery amps, etc. They cost under $200 but it definately piece of mind while boondocking (I also have a generator just in case).
Coach Heater...gas or Aqua hot ?
