Electric Heaters

[cmillsap]

While we are on the subject of “Electric Heaters”, everyone should be aware of their oddly designed control circuits, especially the front electric heater that is controlled by the analog thermostat under the three zone thermostat. The control circuit for the 120V relay for that heater is wired through the front Air Conditioner switch on the driver’s left console. Further, the circuit breaker in the bedroom is for both.

Consequently, that Front Air Conditioner switch must be “ON” for the front electric heater (usually located under the ‘fridge) to work.

A thread dedicated to documenting some of these type idiosyncrasies found in a Wanderlodge may help other owners use the systems and amenities more easily.

I was busily checking all the bus’s heating and furnace today in preparation for the coming winter trips. I had forgotten about that odd circuit I described above and spent more time than necessary trying to determine why that darn front heater didn’t want to work. I finally remembered about that dang front A/C switch after I had removed the heater and checked for incoming 120V.
