When I try to run the furnace, and turn the furnace on it blows the 15am appliance fuse on the converter. This fuse also works for the fridge, and co2 alarm. Only the furnace blows it out. I have replaced it and not turned the furnace on and it holds. As soon as I flip the furnace switch it is gone. I get same results even if I turn the fridge off. What can the problem be, I have tried plugged in to shore power, and on battery and get the same results.
I also can not use the control panel, says everything is empty, normally when I check the battery for charge strength I get full power, when plugged in, today nothing.
What could this be? I am still under complete warranty from Forest River so no worries, Just like to know before I take it in, just in case I can fix it.
The fuse is doing the proper job. You have a short that is drawing more than 15 amps. Since it only blows when you start the furnace find the power wire that goes to it right at the furnace and disconnect it. Try turning it on again. If the fuse does not blow pull the furnace out. Inspect for any mechanical wiring issues.

Hi..YC1 is pretty sharp.. He has helped me immensely over the last 18 mos.
My rookie suggestion is along the same lines, check and be sure the wires that go to your furnace are crimped and connected tightly.
Recently my MAGNUM inverter was having issues... CULPRIT was bad connections,, WIRES were NOT crimped tight causing overheating and swelling of wires which caused them to malfunction to the point they had to be replaced.
Good Luck..
Have a wonderful day..
