This thread has deviated a bit but just to follow-up on some of the misconceptions on a properly operating Aqua Hot hydronic heating system, our Aqua Hot when using the diesel burner is considerably less noisy than the typical propane heater that we have had in other RVs but yes, there certainly is a slight diesel smell. Now with that said, unless the outside temperature falls much below 45F, I will run the Aqua Hot on electric and so therefore there is no outside noise or smell to provide all of the coach heat and hot water that we need in most situations. So in our situation, 90%+ of the time there is no noise or smell from the AH system at all.
We've never owned a coach with the Oasis Hydronic system but I thought that it worked essentially identical to the Aqua Hot-that is-a diesel burner was available when necessary. Owners of the Oasis have reported a quiet and low odor operation but not certainly odorless.
