Arch --

I think you got most of your bolt questions answered in later posts. I had
some other work to finish last night, so I wasn't online.

Darren did a good job of explaining the weirdness of the intake and exhaust
on furnace. I haven't had mine totally removed, so I wonder if it really is
just put together with chewing gum and grey tape. We don't use the furnace
more than once or twice a year, and our CO detector has never went off. Now,
I wonder why.

Phil Stewart, as mr. c (Al Chernoff) asked, what brand cat heaters did you
use, and how did you deal with oxygen depletion and CO accumulation?

I travel with nieces and a teenage daughter (and frequently their friends)
so one concern I've had with a cat style heater is exposure to hair spray. A
moment's inattention to what's going on would seem to create a nuclear war
head on 6 wheels.

I'll look tonight for Catalytic heater info, and have someone at work call
to see what the big boys that make SOBs are using.

Will advise with further info....

Hmmmmm... A lady friend in a lazy days with a cat for 5 months. Sounds like
you've got the right ingredients to become domesticated, my friend!
 
Mark and Al,

I failed to mention in my eariler post on this subject that I always
leave one of the roof vents slightly opened when running the CAT LP
heaters. There are probably enough air leaks elsewhere in the coach to
make up for oxygen depletion but the roof vent makes certain everyone
and evey heater gets enough O2 over night.
