Shutting off the heat

[jburgessx2]

So, how do I shut the heat off in this 85 PT40? I've turned off all know
switches on dash and panels above. But, we are still getting heat out of the
vents. I'm guessing it's coming from the chassis heating system since all the
others are off. Surely their must be a valve to shut off somewhere. . .

When it's 100 degrees outside I would rather not have any heat on. . .

My '86 has water valves in the engine compartment, left side. I don't
know which ones go where, though, but this is what they're for.

I do see some valves in the engine compartment but I don't want to shut off
something that shouldn't be shut off. I have the 6V92.

Jerry:

Switch the Chasis thermostat to the off position and be sure the black
chassis heater switch is in the off position. There will be a set of 2
switches at each chassis heater one is on off the other is low/high

Jerry,

There are four valves in the engine compartment. Two of which control the
pilot/copilot heat, the other two supply coolant to all the other
chassis heaters. My bluebook says three are located on the rear of the engine
and one is on the left bank, about 1/2 way up the side
of the engine. Never could find that one. I located the 4th one also in the rear
of the engine. Two are visible, two are down in front of the rear bumper,
practicly invisible. If all you want is to shut of heat, Ralph's post is a damn
sight easier

Check the Winter/Summer switch?? if you have one??
there may also be defective Sprolan valves in the coolant lines.

There is a summer/winter rocker switch on the left side of the overhead dash area, if it is set to summer the chassis heat system will be off.

Wayne,

I have it set to summer but it still seems to poor the heat out. We are on I-5
heading back to Port Hueneme and it was a hot one today. My wife set a
thermometer by her feet to check the temp - 105 degrees at the co-pilots seat
feet!!! My feet were at 87 degrees. I had the generator running with two of
the AC's going trying to cool it down. My dash AC doesn't work and I haven't
fixed it yet. I was hoping there was some way to turn the heat off at the
engine.

I don't think the heat of the generator and the heat of the road could produce
105 degrees in the passengers seat but I could be wrong.

Oh well, we will be home by noon tomorrow and I guess I can look into it
further. Maybe I have a stuck valve somewhere that isn't allowing the
winter/summer switch to work properly.

If you turn your engine off and turn the key to the on position, go to back of coach and see if those 2 little pumps on the street side of coach, which control the coolant flow are spinning. your switch may be bad and stuck on. the other alternative is to close those 4 valves which ddirect coolant to your chassis heaters and have no bearing on your coolant flow to radiator Ernie Ekberg 83PT40 Wanderlodge Weatherford, Tx http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/erni...gandrepair --- On Fri, 5/29/09, jburgessx2 wrote: From: jburgessx2 Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Shutting off the heat To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, May 29, 2009, 12:48 AM Wayne, I have it set to summer but it still seems to poor the heat out.

Hi Jerry,

Kelly and I had a good laugh this morning- at your expense of course- We
couldn't figure ours out either and used to roast up front all summer. I finally
realized that you have to shut off the 4 valves in the engine compartment to
completely turn the heat off. Otherwise, the hot coolant seems to keep
circulating- even with the summer/winter switch on summer and the front heat
dash switch off. It sounds like others have clued you into this as well.
