PT-42 Front Heaters

[Kurt Horvath]

Pete,

The Ace key is probably for the safe. Mine is located under a counter top in the
bedroom, if you stand at the foot of the bed mine is under the right side
cabinet, just as you enter the bedroom, against the bathroom wall. Just lift up
the corian top and a steel cover will open up and there is a safe. Good luck
there could be some goodies in there!

I am happy to find the Heater, and that it works after getting all the mess
cleaned up. As far as the alarm goes I'll ask my BB guru he might have an idea.

The radar switch powers up the radar detector and your right that little boxed
area is where it is located, my coach still has a radar detector in it but I
never use it, they are more of a distraction than a help. Besides IMHO, if you
need one in a Bird your driving too fast for your own good, not to mention
eveyone else on the road.

Pete I see that you sign off with '95 Blue Bird Wanderlodge WBDA 42. I found 4
designations for our year model coaches 42' WLWB -- 42' WTOS -- 42' WBSD -- 42'
WBDA. I have been using WLWB but to tell you the truth I not really sure which
is my proper designation, whenever I've talked with the guys a BB they don't
seem to destiguish anything past WLWB. Maybe you or someone else could shed some
light on this question.

Looks like I need to do some digging in the front dash area... I
probably have the same situation with the fans under the front dash.

Alarm system: My coach was reported to not have an alarm system.
There is nothing (obvious) that arms it -- although there was one Ace
key (the round kind) that came with the coach and I haven't found
anyplace where it is used. That said, when I experimented with the
panic switch above the bed, an alarm sounded (darned if I know where
it is mounted). I also noticed magnetic switches mounted on the
bedroom window -- that are commonly used with alarm systems. So,
there might be an alarm system _somewhere_ but previous owners were
unaware of it. Or, the coach is prewired for an alarm system, but it
isn't activated until a control box of some sort is installed. (The
owner's manual is silent on the topic.)

I also note that there is a switch for a radar detector on the dash.
Up at the top of the windshield is a black box thing -- that I
discovered was empty. So, it's possible that a radar detector was
installed at one time in the past (and was removed) or that it was
never installed, but a bracket for it was. I'm not really interested
in a radar detector anyway... (The bracket holds my GPS aerial very
nicely.)

As for plugging in the alarm system, I don't think it will shut down
the coach -- but it might set off a noisy alarm when you least expect
it!
