PT-42 Front Heaters

[Tom McCarthy]

The larger vent up front should be controoled by you AquaHot Gas
heating control near the middle of the coach. If you do not get heat
there, your circulation fan must be out.

My slider for the dash temparature control is also tight. Let me
know if you find a way to make it easier.
