Block Heaters
I turned on the block heaters yesterday and tripped a circuit breaker. It
was a "solid" short tripping each time I turned the left heater on. The wiring on our bird is run through a piece of hose. Pulling back the hose showed that the wire insulation was brittle and missing in places. Each heater has a connector so the power cords can be replaced independently of the heaters. Holt Cat had the power cords so I spent the afternoon replacing the power cords, installing a contactor so I could use a switch with a safety cover to prevent the heaters from accidentally getting turned on. If you plan to be in cold weather it might be worth a look at your power cords. We will be in Nebraska or Wyoming at Christmas depending on where our son is working. - Chuck Wheeler - 82 FC 31 SB Fort Worth, TX _____ From: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com [mailto:WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of eddiemoranii Sent: Saturday, October 07, 2006 9:10 AM To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Bluebird Support >Now I am really excited about getting up to KY.
