Subject: Re: Primus Author: John C. Smith, Jr. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01/ 30/ 03, 3:02pm In reply to: Bob Dilks 's message, "Re: 1990 Wanderlodge 40 foot" on 01/ 27/ 03, 4:26am Primus parts are available from BISK AB in Sweden which can be contacted as follows: Mr. Sune Glimhage, President BISK AB Spikv. 10 4571 Udevalla, Sweden E-mail: bisk@telia.com Fax: 011 46 522 88901 Tel: 011 46 522 88388 BISK AB has a web site, "bisk.com", but only a few words are in English. The RV division of Primus was sold to BISK AB. I sent E-mails to both PRIMUS AB and BISK AB regarding the unavailability of parts in the United States. Mr. Sune Glimhage replied by E-mail in September assuring me that I could obtain parts from BISK AB. I have just ordered several parts paid for by VISA/Master Card. I assume parts, including shipping, from Sweden cost more than they would through a US distributer, but it's less costly than replacing the heating system. Blue Bird has replaced a few Primus systems with diesel-fired Webasto systems. I imagine there are pros & cons on that option. I know that the single Webasto system will probably require utilizing at least part of a compartment adjacent the engine compartment since it is larger than the two Primus boilers. I suspect the Webasto system takes more current and may be noisier? Also you lose the advantage of having two heating systems, one of which serves as a backup if the other won't operate. I would be interested if anyone has more information? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Primus Author: Jeff Miller [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02/ 2/ 03, 10:53am I checked with HMH on their diesel-fired Primus replacement and am told that it fits in the same space as the original Primus. As far as noise level and current draw, I don't see why it would be any more than the propane-fired system, but ??? Call HMH at 616.396.1461 and they can probably answer the rest of your questions better than I can (Ken or Mike). BTW, I am only aware of one Primus system being replaced with a Wabasto by BlueBird, very expensive from what I heard. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

This week, Blue Bird filled their first customer order with parts from BISK. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
