Freeze protection heaters

[ernieekberg@...>]

Hi Gardner- I have operated on those heaters and have come to the conclusion
that they are terminal. the housings will not hold the small squirrel cage and
the wiring is toast. One of the squirrel cages is so far out of round that when
we had a guest stay in the coach, he said he would get a motel instead of
staying "in that coach, again" Yea- WE know who you are~ Ernie -83PT40 in

I took those little heaters apart and fixed them. One had burned the
wire leading to the heater elememt, and the other just needed a
little cleaning and oil. They both run great now.
