cold weather operation

[brad barton]

Mike,

So many people scared me about the complexities and reliablities of hydronic heating, but I found out that they had experience using products other than AquaHot. We had no trouble and no maintenance issues with our AquaHot system in our 2000 LXi whatsoever. As soon as I understood how it worked with on engine-heat, electric and the diesel burner, and which switches and thermostats contolled various things (including engine preheat), I did okay. I think you'll really like the way it keeps your coach, your basement, your engine and your water all hot in winter conditions. Very comfortable and worry-free.

Just remember, the diesel boiler switch (hydronic) for the coach is on the dashboard and the hydronic pre-heat for the engine is over the driver's window.

Block-heater is the lighted red switchbehind the tipout in front of the kitchen sink.

ElectricAquaHot switch is theHot Water breaker in the back.

I live in Deerwood, just east of Brainerd. I've never run the 78 FC33 in the winter except to move it for snowplowing. Quartzite has tempted me for years. Now it looks like we might make it in the newer 99 LXi43. I don't have a good feel for the winter capabilities of the Bird. I really appreciate all your advice about the tanks and basement.

We want to get to Quartzite without "drying camping" for the first few days out of Minnesota. Temps this morning were -30. We're hoping for the 20's by the time we leave next week.
