Aqua Hot performance

[95 BMC 37]

If your 3 electric toe kick heaters will keep the coach warm and they produce a
couple of thousand BTUs each, it only makes since that the A/H should do a
better job as they produce 2 times the heat, each. There must be a problem? I do
a lot of cold camping, last weekend it was 9 deg in Republic WA. and I keep the
coach at the temp I wanted. I have done a few things to improve the system. All
the hoses run along the side of the coach next to the exterior skin in the bays,
so I moved them a little and encased them in pipe insulation everywhere I could,
and two of the hoses ran outside to the front of the coach so I encased those in
pipe insulation. One thing I do know is that the burner runs a lot when it's
that cold, and diesel cost a lot, so I too heat with electric and supplement
with the A/H. I also made window inserts out of ¼" white packing foam stuff, and
keep the blinds down except in the sun.
