Thanks, Hurricane

Ok?. So I've been missing from the group for much too long?. But that's a story for another time. I'm trying to catch up with the postings that I have not read for months. It will take some time.

But, that said, I had to comment on the note from Hurricane. I spent two weeks in my coach in the Corning, NY area in early January. In case you didn't see the weather reports there was a bit of snow and temperatures as low as ?13 with wind and it never got out of the teens and low twenties. I found somewhere to plug into 20 amp to keep my batteries going.

My Hurricane furnace worked like a charm! We kept warm and toasty and could get the inside temp to 70. We didn't try (or need) to go higher. I was plenty worried but the furnace did its job. THANK YOU, HURRICANE.

Now, the plumbing bay is another story! On the coldest night the radiator there failed totally in preventing freezing. The water pump and most likely the lines froze. The pump would not run at all. The thermostat in the bay was set on 50 but there was just not enough heat to do anything.

I removed the filter access panel, installed a small fan designed for electronic cabinet cooling in the opening and put a small heater in the bay in front of the opening. That brought the plumbing bay up from the low 20's to above freezing and that brought us back to being able to flush?.. well, you get the point. And no damage to the pump, water lines or tanks?. Whew!

Ask me if I will camp in that kind of weather again!

Sorry this was so long but it makes a good story and I thought the Hurricane folks , and you, should know that there are success stories.

Hello, Dick

I was afraid the snow was so deep there that it had covered the Datastorm dish, and you were not able to communicate. I thought they would find your bones in the spring.
Hope all is well with your home project.
