Hey, there's the remnant of a little white plastic box on the back of the bath/shower
module in our '75, behind the rear panel. There isn't one on the '73 coach.

Here's a picture of one that's complete:

So, what is that thing??

thanks,

I believe that is the vent where the fan forced air is introduced.

That box would be just where our "clothesline" is in the bathroom.

The pipe going into the white box goes across under the roof lining to a fan
behind the cabinets on the other side.
Clearly the fan is needed for those people who can stand steaming hot
showers, operating this fan would keep the module clear of steam.

That's my coach in the pic and it is the heater vent to the bath. There was a blower behind the stove that was supposed to send heated air thru a small tube over to the bath. It didn't do much and you are not missing much if is not complete. I took the fan out. Way to much noise for what it did.

The later coaches had the vent on the outboard side low next to the toilet. The hose ran all the way down the driver's side, along the back, and then past the water tank to the bath module. It was totally useless and also served to run your battery down even more quickly when the furnace was on.

Thanks Wally. I have to wonder even more about ours now -- our bath heater vent is down
low on the wall below the sink area. There's a small flexible tube that runs from the heater,
around the back of the coach, to that low vent. Maybe a PO modification? Thought I'd
seen this on other coaches though.

thanks,
Karen
