Heater check ups
Hello everyone:
Ahh, the long hot summer nears it's end. Wonders have been seen through out the travels of the season no doubt. From informal meetings in Bird's Nest to the air shows at Oshkosh not forgetting the get togethers in Washing State Rallies and the Lone Star Birds and of course the racing meets. Other things of note include $3.00 per gallon diesel and a horrendous storm hitting the Southern coast putting members of this forum and many more at personnel risk and in harms way. Then of course, the dreaded hospital jaunts, of which I am happy to say turned out well in most cases. So all in all a good and bad summer with smiles and some cases tears, draws closer to the beginning of cooler weather. Let's talk a little winter safety and those pesky heaters that will soon start to be exercised. Electric heaters first: Now or very soon would be a good time to pull those electric units out after removing all ac power from the Coach and remove the covers over the heating coils and simply taking a vacuum to the insides to remove the summers dust, pet hair, oh that's right we don't have pets or smoke in these Coaches do we. ahem. then re assemble the covers, slide those electrical heating units back in and tighten the 2 screws that hold them there. Pretty easy huh? and safer for the Family as well. The LP units are a bit more complicated but not if done in a careful manner. Open the grills in front of the LP units, many are behind magnetic panels and just pop open with a little help. Vacuum the areas around the heaters and oh yes, a little attention to the grey sniffer that you will find by each one is in order too perhaps. Those that do not have the mud dauber screens installed over the out side intake/exhaust ports need to do a quick check for nests made over the summer and perhaps needs a little cleaning as well. More could be done to the burner section of the LP heaters but unless you have been there it can be intimidating to some. Then there are the diesel fired units, a quick check to be sure the pumps are running and impellers are not frozen up is always better done when your not shivering from cold, with fingers so numb that you can't feel them. head off problems of a system that you will depend on to keep things warm and cozy while snuggled up to a significant other, watching a movies off the dish or dvd, a bowl of buttered pop corn being shared with a cup of coco, while the heating units just hum right along easy as you please.

It was wonderful seeing you both. I had just missed your pulling out by about 3 or 4 minutes. Please tell Shirley the bbq was good and that apple pie was super YUM!
