Hi Y'all, my first post here. I have a 1978 pop-up truck camper with an Atwood propane heater. Problem is that it has various blower startup times from 1.5 to 5 minutes, and occasionally won't come on at all. I have a new fan run delay relay and connecting it with alligator clips has the same fan-start delay issue. Once running it cycles on/off fine with the thermostat. I'm hunting here in Colorado in 2 weeks and expect morning temp about 13F so really want the heater to work. Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks...
It appears that by removing the terminals and reinstalling them it is working with a 20 second start time several times. I'll do more checking but it appears fixed..
