why was he running any heat, other than that from the cab's dash heating, in the first place?


it gets cold in the cab. We have a Class A and we're trying to heat 37 feet of motorhome while driving. The heater in the dash just can't keep up. Won't be driving with the Blue Flame on after seeing this though

Oops, didn't think about the bigger rigs; ours is only about 25' long. And the bathroom door in the rear is closed...you do have a lot of motorhome to heat. I guess I can only suggest bundling up which is not necessarily fun...

It is all about coach quality. In my old 28 foot '94 Allegro, we darn near froze to death in the cockpit while going down the road in the winter time with only the dash heater on. And in the summer we could not get it cool enough running the dash ac. My current 36 foot '94 Foretravel diesel pusher is fantastic with both the dash heater and dash ac doing what they are suppose to do.
