My setup is same as above. Just turn the AquaHot On and dont worry about the thermostat setting for Bay heating (unless you want heat inside the coach too).

That's what I'd like to do but someone mentioned on Facebook that unless one of the thermostats is on in the coach the Aqua Hot will not operate the pump for the heat exchanger in the bay compartment. Snap disk would turn on at appropriate temp but would just blow cool air. Haven't verified this yet and need to test which thermostat operates the correct pump. Should add coach is in storage and winterized by house but want to error on the side of caution during cold nites and heat bay compartment.

I have not heard that before Ken,
But I live in FL so its not so much a concern. I haven't bother to verify this.

Play it safe and put the thermostat in Furnace mode, but turn the temp setting down as low as it will go (like 50 degrees) so you're not wasting fuel heating the inside of coach (much) while you're not in it.

That's what I've been doing on cold nites and it seems to work.

Well, since it's winterized and beside your house, throw a remote digital thermometer in the compartment, and leave the inside zones off for a night.

That should tell you whether the wet bay heat exchanger still fires up.
