And was able to use a buddies Computer aided design xyz axis laser to cut out an acrylic panel for the camper. Thought you guys might want to see. I use it with a small inverter to power an explosive gas alarm, charge cell phones and portable USB speakers, and give me an approximation of battery...

As promised. Thanks again for the help. Grilled king salmon on the river My big one for the trip a 30 pounder A 20 and 17 pounder Also caught a couple more kings not pictured and 5 steelhead catch and release. And the Furnace is working like a charm.

Can Do :) Last weekend.

Ok furnace is reinstalled in the camper and is cycling on and off nicely with the new thermostat. My bench regulator was the same one the camper uses. I replaced it when I bought the camper because the old one's spring had rusted out. I am pretty sure the problem was originally the...

Just got the pilot to stay lit. New thermocouple installed, furnace on my kitchen counter, propane hooked up from bottle through regulator then directly to furnace. I think what's going on is first that the thermocouple was weak and intermittent Second that when the solenoid was properly...

The furnace is a 66117-009. Manual pilot. In a manual I found they described the solenoid as "automatic" Today I fully removed the furnace. Pulled out the solenoid and put the torch to the thermocouple while it was connected to the solenoid. At 20mV (closed circuit not open) the solenoid did...

Replaced the thermocouple. No change. I cannot hear the automatic pilot solenoid valve actuate, and I did not listen for it when it was working. Should I be able to hear it?

Update. Pulled the thermocouple back out but left it installed next to the pilot. This time I checked the max mV produced from the pilot... 12mV almost 13. This is significantly less than the 18-30 necessary to actuate the pilot solenoid . There wasn't any corrosion on the thermocouple. I think...

Thanks guys. I just found a YouTube that indicates that thermocouples can die slowly and do not necessarily die completely (unless one of the wire breaks of course). I also think dwh is correct is thinking that corrosion is making my connection worse. When I get home I will reinstall the old...

Ok. The pilot is strong. I haven't checked the sail switch yet, would it keep the pilot from staying lit? I was thinking it would just keep the main burner from lighting. I held up a lighter to the thermocouple for a short time and it got to 10mV but I see now that that wasn't enough time for a...

I have an 88 Skamper 082s that I purchased last month. Ive taken it out a few times so far and the 66117 furnace has been working nicely. But today in the garage I couldnt get the furnace to work. I now cannot keep the pilot lit when I release the pilot gas valve button. FYI I did just change...
