What's wrong?
The Suburban-brand SF-30 FQ furnace in 2010-2014 Trails West Rpm trailers uses an intake fan to pull air into the furnace so combustion and heat flow stay controlled. That air movement keeps the furnace from building heat around plastic parts inside the unit. When the fan is intact and turning correctly, the furnace has the airflow it needs to operate within its design limits.
On affected trailers, the plastic intake fan can melt. Once the fan loses its shape or stops moving enough air, airflow drops through the furnace. The furnace can then overheat, and the extra heat can melt other plastic pieces inside the furnace area.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the furnace stops moving air, smells hot, or shuts down abnormally, treat the furnace as unsafe until a Trails West dealer or qualified service shop inspects it.
