Hi Sean,

You mentioned you liked the furnace in your EVC. I've checked out a couple EVCs, but noticed the furnaces seemed to be putting out luke warmish air. I suppose this could be one of those safety compromises so nobody gets burnt, but have you ever measured your outlet air temperature?

Also I noticed a rather lengthy start up procedure for the furnace in the operator's manual, are all those steps necessary? I've also noticed the bottom register seems to be blowing more air than the top one. Is that normal? I just wondered if there was some maintenance that needs to be done to keep the EVC furnace running hotter? Of course, every EVC saleman says that's the way the furnace is supposed to work, and that eventually it warms up the van, but you know how that story goes.
