Bob,
Check the DC fuses in the fuse panel (think it is in bedroom). There are furnace and bath lights fuses (15A I think). The AC outlets not working on left side of coach could be due to a tripped GFI. Check outlets for one that is tripped. Be sure to check storage bays as there is usually a GFI located on one of the outlets.

          Hi Bob,
  If the furnace blower is working but no heat, here are the most common reasons the furnace burner did not come on. 1- the propane detector got turned off or you are out of propane, 2- the furnace limit switch has failed and will not allow the ignition circuit to activate, 3- mud daubbers wasps have built a nest in your furnace combustion chamber, they are attracted to the ethelmercaptain chemical they put in the propane to alert you of a leak. By the way, Texas is full of mud daubbers, 4- the ignition circuit on the PC board has failed because the furnace is 22 years old.
  Hope this helps, Fred Brooks

Bob,
What type of heating system does your coach have? The 96 Patriot can have either a hydronic or propane furnace.
