Hot water problem update/fix

Yahoo Message Number: 19286
Last week I reported that I could not get any hot water from the Hurricane system unless I had the heater/furnace on. The hot water system did not work with the HW switch like it used to. After many long discussions with the Hurricane tech (Steve) we finally figured out that my problem was a bad circulator pump. And, the reason it worked with the furnace is because Country Coach installs a second circulator pump up in the front of the coach which is used for the furnace.
Actually, I think both pumps are used for the furnace and only one for the short loop hot water system. The second pump is understanably not shown in the Hurricane schematic, but it is referenced in the CC schematic, which I should have checked earlier in the troubleshooting process. After I installed a new pump inside the Huricane box, it worked as advertised. Yepee! I just took a hot shower and it felt good. Kudos to Steve, the Hurricane tech who had the patience to tolerate all the phone calls and questions, and the brain power to figure out my problem. We are now happy campers again!
