    2015 337RLS Furnace operation - with slides closed

    Are there any stated restrictions or concerns with operating the furnace with the three slides closed? We'll be leaving the RV unattended for a couple weeks over Christmas and would like to leave the furnace on with the slides closed. Appreciate any thoughts or comments. Thanks.

    Attached couple threads where this item was tossed around some time ago. As noted in the second thread, I do not recall ever seeing a response from GDRV as to why not to do so but I think the blocking of heat/cold air return vents and potential liability/safety issues seems most likely. We have not run our furnace while traveling but have done so while parked with the slides in as with our 303 there are no air flow blockage issues. Yes, two of three heat vents in the center island will blow in to the closed kitchen and dining slides but there is still plenty of room for the hot air to circulate. With the bathroom and bedroom there are no differences between the bedroom slide closed or open.
