Sol Aire Heater

[Dean The ResourcefulNorse]

Requested last week on this forum replacement suggestions for my Sol Aire
heater in a 1975 Avion, that was putting exhaust smoke on the side of the
coach. Thanks for those that responded. I decided to look into the manual,
found, by the way, on BDub's web site.

And if you havn't donated to him this year as of yet, DO THAT RIGHT NOW.

Well, I asked some of the local RV repair companies if they could do the
job. Most said they had never heard of that manufacturer but bring it in and
we will be glad to work on it by the hour.

So I tackled it. Turned the air/fuel screw a fraction, made the flame blue,
and bingo, no smoke.

If anyone would like some input on Sol Aire's, contact me direct and maybe I
can help.



It will be another 2 days before I am done with the other jobs that came up
with this project: sanding and painting the shelves below the sink,
modification to the cabinet, etc. We all know how that goes.

Be sure, be very sure, that you check the fire box and heat exchanger for
cracks. If you find any, replace that furnace before it kills you and your
family in your sleep. Even if you don't detect any cracks, at the very
least make sure you have a working carbon monoxide detector in your coach.
This is good advice to all of us.

Never use gas in an enclosed space without a CO detector which you tested just now.
Didn't Sol-Aire basically get sued out of binniss for asphyxiating people?
