CRS - erniecarpet@... - 11-27-2006 10:11 Gardner-- how many times have we left the block heater on~~~ Ernie Ekberg 83 PT40 Livingston, Montana [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] CRS - Gardner Yeaw - 11-27-2006 14:00 CRS (can't temember sh@#) I was fixin my generator this weekend and when I tested it I turned on all the breakers to check out all the 120 volt AC stuff. I had shut some down cause I was tripping the 20 amp circuit at the house connection. Like a real genius, I also turned on the hot water heater, DUH, The water system is drained for the winter. I am hopeing there is a sensor to protect the heater element when there is no water in the system; Is that present on a '78? I won't be able to check it out until this weekend, but if I smoked it, does anyone have a replacement part number for the heater element? Gardner 78FC33 (victem of an absent minded dufus) CRS - one_dusty_hoot - 11-27-2006 14:18 Gardener, Can't speak for the 78 but the 77 did not have a "no water, no heat" system, so you may find an element with a downward bend. Seems simple enough to do, use a pressure switch at the HWH, no pressure, no heat. Can't help you with the element, maybe yours is still good?

You will eliminate most of the smoke-vs a cold start. It also helps on the wear and tear. Ernie Ekberg 83 PT40 Livingston, Montana [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] CRS - erniecarpet@... - 11-28-2006 09:22 Gardner- thats cool- in fact- here in Montana- damn cold- 2 degrees and "supposed" to drop to -14. I'm leaving here- if I'm not frozen to the ground maybe in less then a week. Ernie Ekberg 83 PT40 Livingston, Montana [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] CRS - erniecarpet@... - 11-28-2006 09:36 Terry- just took a nice hot shower in my coach. The only thing I need is a thawed out "P" trap for the shower. Looks like I didn't put enough pink stuff down there. Ernie Ekberg 83 PT40 Livingston, Montana--but not for long!!! [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] CRS - Gardner Yeaw - 11-28-2006 12:19 Ernie, I've never done that! But then, I've never used the block heater.

I know I will do it again, so why not head it off at the pass. Gardner 78FC33 --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Gardner Yeaw" wrote: > > Ernie, > I've never done that!
