Furnace location

[johnboy]

Hi all Seneca lovers
Can someone tell me how to access the furnace on a 2017 37TS?
I know about the access on the outside drivers side. I don't have any issues I just want to be proactive and clean any dust / dirt in the area. This is the only appliance I have not looked into since my purchased in 11/16. I've seen some post on the duct work and uncapped wires and pic's showing it
The Seneca is keep in indoor storage which helps with dirt and insects.

Any tips and tricks would be appreciate.



Thanks,
John

No direct help. But it is a great plan to know how to access it. Most of the time when it fails is when your camping and you have not back up plan.

Sounds like you have an access door on the outside of the MH (very nice feature) If so, you need to remove the exhaust pipe on the door. Open the door, do your work. When complete, reverse the procedure, you may need some butyl tape to make weather tight.

There are some great Youtube videos on how to access the sail switch via an outside access panel.

Here is an OK link to open the outside access panel (3min 50 sec).

Thanks Jagiven, I'll give this a look see! I've seen other UTube about furnace but have not view them as there was no need at the time. Now that I want to do some routine cleaning / maintenance I'm interested now.



Any Seneca owners, can you add to this as far as access to the furnace inside the Seneca. Is that a cold-air return under the fridge?


Thanks

Our cold air return in our model is under the refrigerator. On our 2006 Seneca 35GS I actually found a 1 inch thick furnace filter that fix perfectly behind the cold air return. I have not had this one off as of yet to see if I want to make that modification.
