Adding a boiler to an 86 PT

[Scott Forman]

To me, this is most useful for hot water and engine heating rather
than coach heating. I really must say that I think not giving the
option of propane for water heat is the biggest error BB made in
these coaches.

and flipped the switch. I replaced the auxillary circulation pump in
the rear of the coach with a higher capacity unit. I doubt this
upgrade is cheaper to operate as compared to propane but it adds an
additional heat source and preheats the engine faster than the
electric engine heater.

Back flow and air in the lines are your enemy.
