Signature vs others, front heat

[Windecker]

Thanks Vito, appreciated. I have read through his threads when I have a little time, there is a lot of information to sift through!!

Also, who is Roger Berke?

Google him. He is an Aqua Hot repairman that runs a forum on Aqua Hots

LOL, I did but until I added the word Aqua Hot in the search box I just came up with real estate guys. All good now, thanks!

The large register in the bottom center of the Signature dash console blows heat and it also comes out of the A/C vents. There is another register under the passenger side couch and one in the kitchen. Additionally we have small 110v heaters in the kitchen and bath area.

Mike (zmotorsports) has a 2003 Dynasty that he has changed the bedroom Aqua Hot fans. He says they are the same fans that Foretravel uses and they are quieter than the Monaco fans.

Also, I've noticed with this smaller AHE-100 system it is important to turn on the diesel burner and let it cycle completely (about 20 min) before setting the Duo-Therm thermostats to Furnace mode.
If you immediately turn the thermostats to Furnace without letting it first heat the boiler, it cannot catch up on a cold day.

There is apparently quite a difference between model and year operation. On my 2007 Signature the front dash air controls are electronically operated and have no effect when the key is off. The AquaHot fan operation is controlled by a switch in the galley, Low-Medium-High, and controls all of the AH fans at the galley as well as the dash. It can be used while driving which would be handy on a cold day. I've left the AH on and driven only to be blasted out by the heat which cannot be controlled with the dash controls.

You might also try John Carrillo in Heat My RV. He is the factory rep for Aqua Hot and the expert..... He rebuilds most units and sell parts. He also travels to RV rallies around the country. I had him replace my AEH100-03 unit after it split inside the tank. This rebuilt unit works perfectly now....... Great guy.......

Yea my 99 Signature was the same way although I did not have a 3 speed AH fan speed.
I ran the AH all the time driving if it was needed.

Thanks Dave for the link to heatmyrv.com I intend to address this stuff over winter once camping season is officially over for me.
