Did that work for you? Opening the windows, I mean? I had the same problem.
I plan on taking Tawanda out in the winter in and around Southern California. I'm going to try to use the Cool Cat whenever possible but I may need the furnace on ocassion.
Please let me know how you solved the problem...

> Mick, there will be a certain "furnace" smell when it is on but anything that is really offensive might be exhaust, so get into the compartment where your furnace is and make sure that the exhaust pipe is truly exiting the trailer! sometimes people have found it to have come loose at the wall and they were getting exhaust into the trailer. Also getting into the furnace compartment, you can make sure your furnace isn't covered with some plastic,insulation, ect. that shouldn't be there.:-) Unscrewing the screws for the dining seat can also show you if all is ok in the converter compartment. This way viewing all those places, you can make sure you don't have wheel well leaks too! it has happened! Hope this helps. Terry and Gordie
