Adding a boiler to an 86 PT
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.

Mounted the boiler in the front curb side compartment, tapped the generator for the fuel supply. Using T- connectors I accessed the supply and return water lines wired it up 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. > A word on fuel supply, it's always a good idea to isolate the supply to each fuel using component with a dedicated check valve.
