Hey guys,
My hose (or whatever is used for this) from my furnace on the drivers side to the bathroom heat outlet on the passenger side is missing? What is used to get heat to the bathroom? Does it travel along the drivers side wall, around the back of the coach to the bathroom? or does it go through the floor and across?
It looks like it would probably follow the wall and travel around the coach but I'm not sure...
Is it possible that my coach didn't have heat in the bathroom from the factory?
Thanks,
Steve

On my 77 Eleganza, the hose travels behind the closet, aft thru the boxed in space above the Generator, across the back, then down to the floor and forward just inboard of the water tank to the bathroom module. This was designed to keep the water tank & plumbing from freezing. I believe most later GMC finished coaches with this general floor plan were delivered that way. There was a booster fan behind the oven which made a lot of noise and used a lot of current, but was not very effective. Many of those fans were removed.

Many of those fans behind the stove were wired backwards and were blowing the wrong way.
When I reversed the wiring on mine years ago it got quieter and I got heat in the bathroom from the small hose.

Interesting. I had disconnected mine, because it really did just seem to make noise, drain extra battery, and not really blow air into the bathroom. I might look into that. I had actually thought about putting a switch on it and taking a tube up to the drivers seat.
not sure of your layout, but my 75 palm beach, when you pull out the oven/stove, it gives access to the blower, and the hose comes off that and goes all the way around the back of the coach. You can see the hose in where my fuse panel is, as well as by my waterpump.
