Dick;

Thank you for the kind words. I feel that this forum is a valuable one that allows Rixens to be more responsive and informed about our customers.
Perhaps you would be interested in our "Toastie Tootsies" option when it becomes available?!?

Although I haven't had a great deal of reports of this happening, I suspect that there was enough air for the unit to run, if not, it would have faulted. In these circumstances, I would recommend that the furnace be serviced at the low end of the range, between 300 and 500 hours, especially at first because it will be running a little dirty with restricted air flow. Removing the external air cleaner will not affect the internal air filter that much. Replacing the internal filter at 500 hours would be good insurance. It is a 1/4" fuel filter with the intake spigot removed and is available at any auto parts store.

Craig,

A quick word about your Hurricane warranty. Our warranty information says that we have a 2 year and 3 year warranty on certain Hurricane parts and repairs. But this warranty begin from the day the Hurricane is manufactured and not when you purchase your Country Coach. We took delivery on our 2001 Magna on 12/27/2000 but the Hurricane heater was made in August of 2000. I checked with CCI and they confirmed that this is one of the few items on the coach that is covered from day of manufacture not day of delivery. You can tell the date of manufacture from the serial number, our has a 0800 in the number. I intend to bring this up at the rally in Jan. at Fort Myers to see if they can get it changed in the future.
I also asked why CCI uses Hurricanes instead of Aqua Hot and they said it is because of space. The Hurricane is much smaller then the Aqua Hot, but I think Aqua Hot is more reliable. We have never been able to get our Hurricane started without fixing something each time we go on a trip. This time it is an ignitor which cost $39.95, but that's better then a fuel pump at $140, or a control panel at around $400.
