rear furnace blower

[Gene Lutter]

I did find the owners manual and parts list that shown the rear blower,
however it does not show the electrical connections to it. still looking.
It is disconnected now and I would guess that it came on with the main
blower. Wiring in this coach is a real challenge as the POmade many changes.

Our '74 did not have this blower. I thought about adding one. After asking about it, based on comments here, I decided it was a bit worse than
useless. Noisy, power sucking and ineffective. Ask here for others opinions and decide if you want to fool with it.

Sir, Our 76 Eleganza had the fan removed and I'm saying ok, less battery usage. Then I found one in good condition and just cause I could I put it
in. The first cool morning I stepped in the side wet bathroom I was glad I did. Big difference in a warm bathroom in the morning. Yes it comes on
with main blower and single wire is within a foot of the blower.

Many of the GMCs had this small blower mounted behind on below the stove. A small 2” (?) hose led from it around the back of the motorhome and below the front edge of the water tank and connected to a vent in the side bath wall to the left of the toilet. It served to keep the water tank from freezing in the winter and to provide some heat to the bathroom.

However a lot of people disconnect it because it draws more current when dry camping so the battery runs down more quickly and doesn’t put much heat into the bath.

I think the long run of the hose allows it to cool a lot before reaching the bath.
