If this is true, WOW that is a poor design Country Coach. Is there something i am missing?

It seems the AquaHot on electric is fine when the temps are moderate (maybe above 40degrees) - but when it gets colder than than just leave it on diesel.
The main things to check if you are having trouble are:
Any red lights on the main board? If so, look at the manual to determine the fix. Manual is available online.
Are both hoses on top of the Aqua Hot unit HOT? Generally takes a few minutes for this to happen.
Are both fans at the AquaHot pushing the fluid? (you can sometimes feel the movement through the hoses). Otherwise, pull the side cover of the AquaHot and you can see/feel the fans spinning.
If all are these are good, then you should have hot air blowing out of your vents, unless you have the problem I had - which was a kinked line so the hot fluid could not get to the exchangers.
It was an easy fix once I found the kinked line though.
