My grandmother who passed away some forty years ago told me about the year in North Dakota when the kerosene froze. I looked it up. Kerosene freezes at 65 degrees below zero. This winter which is still six weeks away looks to be a cold one. I'm hoping to be ready for when the kerosine freezes.

My new furnace finally works (long story last year about my furnace from hell- heck, you think that would keep you warm, but I digress). However, I spend $20 a week for propane but two space heaters and two warming elements in my a/c units have kept me warm and dry until now when the temps have plummeted. Electricity in the Northwest is a lot cheaper than propane.

Enough BS. My issue is that my rear a/c unit trips a breaker after an hour or so of normal operation. My forward a/c unit chugs along, warming the forward part of my coach quite nicely. I'm an electrical idiot. Is there something else on the rear circuit that draws more current than the forward a/c unit? Perhaps it is simply a variation in construction of my Duotherm, Briskair units. You guys always have an insight. Let's hear it guys.
