Solaire furnace

[richard bachert]

Guys, I recently posted a message warning of a serious fire hazard with the
Sol-Aire furnace from Motorhome magazine. Is there or isn't there a problem
with the Sol-Aire?
Thanks.

I will speak up... I still have the sol aire. I took it out last summer, along
with Gene Fisher, and we both checked out the units. They were cleaned, lubed
and put back together. Haven't had the time or inclination to change them yet.
That makes two for the anwer.

Emery, could I get a copy of that document. I took mine apart and put it back
without any help, but I did replace the connector as it was corroded when I
reinstalled the unitl. Thanks. Since you are coming down on Monday, could I
trouble you for a copy.
