Will the hydronic heat operate off the batteries if I'm dry camped??? Help needed tonite. Tks

Yes, it's 12V, so your batteries will run it. Safe travels.

From what I understand although the system is made to operate on 12V it is extremely voltage sensitive. If your voltage drops just a tad under 12V you may find your self getting a little chilly!!!

Tks Jeff for quick response. Researched my manuals and found that if battery voltage goes down , it will cut off the hydronic at 11 volts. True?

Voltage to the hydra-hot has always been a problem. do not run a higher amperage relay if you have the plug-and-play relays. The higher amperage relays takes more voltage to trip the relay and they are erratic. always use the 30 amp Bosch relay and check your voltage to the hydra-hot

I have used my Hurricane off the batteries for years while boondocking. It works fine. It has close to 3000 hours on it. It is not particularly voltage sensitive at all. If your batteries drop down to 11 volts actual charge voltage, you are in trouble with numerous things in your coach. You should not let this happen under any circumstances. The key is you have to have enough house batteries to run the Hurricane and whatever else.

I have dry-camped many times in cold weather, sometimes below zero, and our Hurricane XL has performed well. I set the generator to auto-start at 60% SOC on the "House" batteries and stop at Absorption, using 70% charge rate. The point is, the XL never missed a beat, so I will assume the furnace is not too critical about exact voltage.
