I just thought I'd share this, some might find it useful or amusing.
There is presently no working heat in the Revcon.
I could buy a Space heater at walmart for $20 but what fun is that?
I happen to have an extra RV electric water heater and a heater core with blower from a toyota pickup.
So,i primed the water heater, connected it to the heater core, added and RV water pump and the whole thing blows out fairly warm air.
It gets it up to where you can no longer see your breath.
The water heater is 1500 watts so I guess that's around 4000 BTU's, minus the inefficiencies.
Besides wanting to warm the coach up right now, i'm considering a hot water heating system instead of the furnace.
This give me a baseline for what it will take.

It's gonna take a lot of Adderall to get this thing right.
