Scamp Furnaces

My 2003 Scamp 13 has 2 furnaces; a 120v electric under the clothes closet and a propane opposite and under the sink. I've yet to try the propane furnace. That's next on the try it list. Today, with the trailer plugged into 120v shore power and turning the thermostat to 70, the electric furnace fan came on but the furnace blew cold air. I let it run about 5 minutes but cold air only came forth. No warm air. It was in the low 60s outside. Am I doing something wrong or do I have a defective electric?

I had them reversed. The electric is under the sink. The propane is under the closet. Sorry for any confusion.

Heaters

Scamp does not install electric heaters and the gas furnaces are installed under the counters. If you have a standard trailer layout and the gas furnace is under the closet by the door you really need to inspect the installation and gas lines since this indicates an owner install and not too close to the normal gas line factory route.

With the elec. heater, if the fan runs you have power. Could be bad a thermostat, heater element or fuseable link for the heater element if equipped. Time to use a meter to troubleshoot.

Furnace

I agree with Eddie's assessment that this sounds like PO (Previous Owner) Mods not factory and you'll need to test each element of the electric heater. Any info on the brand and model of the electric heater? Also, some pics of this unusual setup showing both elec and propane furnace locations would be interesting.
