RV Furnace Heat Exchanger Tear Down & Cleaning (Full Breakdown)

In this video we tear down an RV furnace and go step-by-step through the heat exchanger removal, inspection, and deep cleaning. I explain what each component does, what causes buildup, and why regular maintenance is critical for proper airflow, efficiency, and safety.

A dirty heat exchanger can lead to:
• Poor heating performance
• Restricted airflow
• Overheating issues
• Short cycling
• Possible furnace failure

We show the full process of disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly so you can understand how these systems work and what to look for when servicing your own RV furnace.

⚠️ Safety First: Working on gas appliances can be dangerous. If you’re not comfortable, call a qualified technician.
