  Ah its cold.... brrrrr in Texas. So in order to keep the coach from having water damage, I tried once again for the atwoods to power up the furnace. No go. The heat pumps won't work in this sub 40 degree F weather either. So to plan B. I hot wired 2 atwood tstats to the 12 volt wires I had in the coach to the White wire that goes to the relay from the AC area. Turned on the tstat and..... it works!! As I figured, the aqua hot NEEDS 12 volts to power the relay. I hooked up 2 tstats temporary to get over this weather, then it will be a more permanent instal. Not sure why the atwood tstat is not turning it on. Something screwy in the board I think. Can't get it fixed now, and not worth the money later unless its still under warranty. So now with the aqua hot on diesel, got heat out of all the registers.
But my heat in the house is messing up on a brand new ac/heater install. Got to have someone come by tomorrow for that. I think its the gas solenoid and I don't want to mess with it, and its under warranty.

Glad you got heat in the coach. It's cold in the Walmart camp ground in Big Springs Tx.

yeah me too!
Glad I serviced the aqua hot this year too.
In 19 years of living in coastal Texas only had 2 freezes with snow here. Usually late December and early January gets into the high 30's low 40's then its summer again. Not so this year. Going to hard wire the tstats in next week.
