Cold Coach While Driving
Hello all. New to DP ownership and have an issue. I've read several posts on cold weather camping, but I have a different issue that I'm not sure about. We recently drove from Nebraska to Florida for a few week stay in our new (used 2006 Mandalay 42ft), January to mid February. The outside temps were quite cold, generally low teens for most of the trip. I was running the drivers compartment heat, as well as, the coach furnace. Unfortunately is was quite cold up front requiring me to wear a jacket and even gloves at times. It was also fairy chilly in the living compartment of the coach, however the rear sleeping area was very toasty due to the furnace and engine heat. Is this normal due to the large windshield? I don't seem to have any major drafts up front, but did notice a pretty good draft coming in around the refrigerator. I plan to have the shop check that out and seal up this spring. Lastly, how forceful should be/is the front drivers heat blowing for others of you with similar rigs. I am wondering if I might have a fan going bad. On high, it feels like it's blowing as hard as the fan set on low/medium in our Escalade. Is this normal with a DP? Will we have the opposite issue this summer when we head out West with family for a summer vacation? Thinking Grand Canyon, etc. Any thoughts and comments are appreciated. Thanks!2.6KViews0likes10Comments
