Ernie,

Helping friends with their coaches I have seen at least three different
types of heaters that were used for freeze protection. Mine are grey and I
don't remember the make but I believe that I saw them in Granger or McMaster
Carr. I'll look in the next few days. Coldest we have been in is -14 and
the freeze heaters ran almost continuously but nothing froze. I have my
thermostats set at 40 degrees. My heat tape is also good. I serviced mine
right after we got the coach because the original wiring was shedding it's
insulation. One of my squirrel cage fans was damaged also. I took one out
of a blower I got from a computer surplus store. It was in a cabinet
cooler. It was a dual blower arrangement. If you get back in town you can
have the other one if it will fit.

PS- Hair dryers work well on air dryers too!

While I was stopped due to the bad weather, I was doing a check on my
heaters. The kitchen heater was running but putting out no heat. I
took one of Brenda's hair dryers and put it in that compartment. Works
like a charm.
My rear heater by the hot water heater, the fan was barely moving.
Don't know why- these things are just 24 years old. Took the partition
out of that compartment and added a ceramic heater to that area.
Perhaps this was the problem I was having last year. Time to look for
new heaters. Anyone know where we can find small, compact heaters like
came in our coaches? Ernie-83PT40 in Buffalo, Wy, for a short time, I
hope
