Heater Update & Guy Time!

Well, Dave looked at the schematic for the heater that came with the RV. Naturally, none of the colors of wires on the diagram for the fan were used! So, he started snipping to see if he could find the one that would shut off the fan. After a few snips with no success, he took the motorcycle and our son to the store to get wire connectors.

Well...naturally, they ended up having to go two counties away! Ahhhh...such is rural living! So, they went out to dinner while they were out and had a "guy time"! A motorcycle ride out and dinner with Dad...what more could a boy want?

When they got back, he reconnected the wires he had cut. Earlier, he had removed the panel from the heater, hoping to see something obvious there. The heater is crammed into a tiny cupboard space. That is why the fan cools it down. There is a fire risk if it does not. Well...wouldn't you know? He had to bang on the cover to get it in place and the fan stopped! Apparently, it was not the sensor, but a stuck switch. Needless to say...we put tape on the heater thermostat so we won't turn it back on again!
