While I was waiting for the repair place to get back to me, I went to the office to check for mail and asked there if they had any other recommendations for service techs. They had one, so I gave the guy a call and he said he’d be over in half an hour to make a diagnosis!

He arrived as promised, I turned on the furnace, and the confirmed that I need a new motor. His rate was at least $100 less than what the other place ended up quoting me, so it was a no brainer to let him pull the motor right then and there. While he was doing that, Ken and Donna came by with offers of heaters. *hugs you guys!*

The repair will depend on the availability of the motor and could be tomorrow mid-afternoon or Wednesday. I’ll be okay for heat, even if I won’t be super comfortable. The worst will be getting up in the morning.

I should have seen this failure coming, but I’d read that RV furnaces are supposed to be noisy, so I needed the rattling to tell me that something was amiss. I’m definitely not kicking myself over this; I’m just grateful that I can get this fixed, and so easily to boot!
