Furnace Fan ON In Bath

We have a 1999 49ft U320 with Aqua Hot.

It's been parked for a month now and we're going to take it out for its monthly warm up spin today.

Even though the furnace is OFF, the floor fan for heat in the bath is ON.  And the bath thermostat is as low as it gets: 50F

As near as I can tell, it's 49F here in El Centro, CA.  So is it normal for the fan to be ON under these conditions?

There are 2 controls on the bath thermostat (at least in ours).  The bottom one slides full scale to set the temperature.  The top is an ON/OFF lever, left to ON, right to OFF.  You do have to click it all the way to the right to make it go OFF (it takes a bit more force than you might expect).  Try that.

The bathroom fan can run if the thermostat calls for heat even though the Aqua-Hot is turned off. 

Fan will run, but no heat.

I replaced a bathroom thermostat (like yours I think) with a new one.  It was just as hard to turn off / on.  Check it out.

Thanks!

As the old saying goes, "We get too soon old, but too late schmart"

This time it was not something I forgot. I KNEW there was an ON/OFF switch. I just kept thinking the ON/OFF was at the low end of the temp control lever ;o)

My ON/OFF switch is well hidden UNDER the thermostat. Temp control on top.

I should have remembered this because so many Foretravel ON/OFF switches are UNDER and not very visible unless you know where to look ;o)
