Heart Interface

[Tom Warner]

Jay how did you install the distribution panel next to the main load
center in your PT40. In my 1985 PT40 there is absolutely no room to
mount one on the back wall. There is already a main load center, the
30 amp disconnect panel and a panel for the 3 cruise air
solenoids. I am thinking of installing mine in the rear closet
behind the center bed. There is already a switch there for the engine
battery heaters, etc.

What model Heart did you install? Is there any problem with moisture
where the rediline is?
