Tiffin Phaeton Aqua Hot -- 400D good enough?
In the process of picking out a motorhome...and I keep coming back to Tiffin. Drove an Open Road Allegro...and we really liked the coach itself...but after driving a diesel it would have to be the Al...

It is VERY important to PROPERLY winterize the AquaHot. You need to pump the pink antifreeze through the fresh water loop in the AquaHot. Just blowing it out can leave enough water in the loop to break it when it freezes. This will require replacement of the AquaHot (Big $$$$).

I just read the AH owner's manual. Seems straightforward enough.
Or you can drain the water and put a couple of 60w light bulbs in there. It's worked for me down to 10 degrees.
I think Tiffin is saving a couple of bucks by using smaller AHs in their coaches. Amer Coach uses nothing smaller than the 450DE and in the larger coaches uses the 650. One thing to keep in mind with the 450, if it is producing heat and you turn on hot water faucet, the heat function stops until the demand for water is no longer there. That's what my manual says, and that's how it works. The 650 can run heat and water at the same time.
