I did that, but we also use a vented catalytic heater mounted one the
entry wall below the vacuum cleaner storage. We then installed a new
two way hot water heater where the furnace come out. This is a great
setup for bonndocking, especially since we also changed the refrigerator
to a 3 way. If I had it to do over again, I would special order a 3 way
H/W heater with the radiator heat exchanger.

Just curious to know how many of y'all HAVE jerked the
Solaire and NOT
replaced it? I read of at least one GMCer who left the
furnace out and uses
electric ceramic cubes to heat the coach. Anyone else
done that and what
has been your experience?
Thanks
