Subject: Bathroom heater Author: Jim Scoggins [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01/ 5/ 02, 5:55am 1986PT40 For information only For Bluebirds: Is this another secret you guys were keeping from me -- and just seeing how long it would take for me to figure it out? I didn't know the bathroom heater thermostat thingy would work underway-- I thought it only worked in conjunction with the galley propane heater. While coming north from Ft Valley the other day-- temps were below freezing--when we stopped the bathroom was ice cold. I then turned on the thermostat and set it for 70 degrees. At the next stop the bathroom was toasty warm. Don't know where it gets the heat-- I presume it just pulls in the warm air from the galley area.

She thinks you expected the bathroom thermostat to activate the galley LP furnace while you were driving down the road and since you did not have the LP furnace turned on you did not have any heat in the bathroom. Yes, the bathroom thermostat operates the galley LP furnace duct booster independent of the LP furnace. I think its nothing short of marvelous that you have been able to get heat from the galley area, presumabely supplied by your chassis heaters, into the bath. Its been my experience that all I get is cold air. That is why I ran the bathroom thermostat wire to the duct booster through a heat sensor in the furnace duct so the duct booster would not activate until the heater duct reached 110 degrees. Now I cannot run the bathroom thermostat without having the galley LP furnace working. Fortunately, I used bullet connectors so I can reverse the wiring easily. Next time I'm under the dinette I'll reverse the wiring and see if heat ever gets into the bathroom from the chassis heaters. Better keep that 86. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Bathroom heater Author: Harvey Lawrence [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01/ 6/ 02, 9:44am Jim you probably activated the engine water heating system that runs all through the coach. My 84 Pt 40 has a good system and keeps th whole motor home toasty going down the rd.. Do you not have a set of Bird instruction Manuals? If not perhaps it would be worth you effort to finds some or order them from the factory. If I can help let me know. Harv [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
