The van has an auxiliary heater. The fan seems to run off 12v, but I haven't gotten it to produce heat yet. It has a very nice thermostat which appears to turn the fan off and on. Is there a pilot light to this? Or does the engine need to be running? Looking at the wiring on the heater, it mentions two wires as optional that power the heater with 110v. I don't have these. Is there anyway to add the option? http://www.skipemmert.com/vanquestions/interior.jpg BTW, the fridge is a Dometic 211. Is this basically the same fridge as those in the rest of Westy-dom or is it something else that's different? I'm sure I'll have questions about it once I open the access hatch.
Thanks for any help, Skip Emmert-Keaton 1980 Westy <unnamed> |
