Freeze protection heaters
Ernie - Sounds like typical Bluebird, SOLID construction! Good luck
installing those heaters, let me know how it goes. Are you still stuck in Buffalo? Harry Saddock 83FC35 South Windsor, CT --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, > > Harry- on my coach are separate thermostats that the original freeze protection heaters are plugged into. Those thermostats are still functional. > Bluebird did a major overkill on those heaters by mounting them on an 1/8 inch steel plate. That unit is then mounted to the wall. Talk about heavy.
