Freeze Protection

[mrkane1952]

Greetings:

The original thermostat (actually "Line Voltage Control") for the
freeze protection heater was a Dayton 2E206, which Grainger shows as
obsolete/short supply. The new replacement is a Dayton 1UHH2, about
$68, and it was in stock in Garland, TX.

The water heater was probably the original Atwood EHM-II SM. The
replacement was identical in size, Atwood model EHP-10, at around $300.

While I stood around, Ernie and his collaborator deconstructed the
closet enclosure, removed the old heater and moldy rotten flooring in
the closet and also the ruined plywood on the bed platform. Then the
floor and platform were replaced with new materials, the new heater
and thermostat installed with new plumbing connections, and the puzzle
of the enclosure re-assembled. There were only two screws left over
when they were done!

Then they found the bathroom chassis heater core under the
refrigerator was leaking coolant...
