Run aquahot off level?

October 25, 2012, 09:18:19 pm

Our coach will spend 2 nights at home next week before it goes into climate controlled storage for awhile.  My drive is sloped and even after max leveling the coach remains about 5 degrees off level front to back.  It will get down to about 30 each night so I want to run the aquahot to keep things from freezing. 

Any problems running the aquahot off level for 2 nights?

Mark,

As long as the fuel pick up tube is immersed in diesel and you have plenty of 12 vdc power, the burner does not care about how level it is.

If you are plugged in to house power, the electric element does not care either.  Plus your batteries supplying 12 vdc are kept fully charged.

Full tank of diesel, fully charged batteries in good condition and you are good to go plugged-in or not.

That is great news - thanks Rudy for the quick and complete reply as usual! We really did not think it would be this cold this early in Chicago before Haloween but the weather seems to be getting harder and harder to predict.

thanks again.
