Jeff,
Also just an FYI, after much head scratching and searching on our part, Leon from Marathon verified that our coach (and others of the same vintage) did not have to ability to preheat the engine block via the Webasto, only by the 120v heater.

We are looking at the Van Leigh 5th wheel. It’s made by Bob Tiffins sons in Mississippi. We have a new F350 to pull it. Don’t get me wrong, Bus living has been great. The catch is that we really had to sink a lot of money to get her up to specs. Most people tell us to keep it and drive on. I thought the same. Pam has a different opinion and one that I can see her point.
We are taping out and the bus will make someone a good home or getaway. If you know someone whom is looking for an XL, tell them I have ours for sale.

I hope you find the park of your dreams…I love Florida… however I am very curious as to why you would want an open trailer ?

Walt,
Thanks for the reply. I am fairly certain that they are separate systems on my coach. No webasto engine preheating and no engine heat through the water to air heat exchangers. The webasto still fires when the engine is at full temp. My engine coolant is green Fleetcharge. Webasto system antifreeze iS dark red. All valves are open. Thanks again. Remember, im driving a dinosaur!

Jeff ,
Webasto heat exchangers use the main engine coolant. So the coolant lost is what ever you use in the engine.
As a note, the post 2003 or so Aqua Hot heaters use GRAS (generally recognized as safe) boiler antifreeze or coolant. Earlier heaters, those with no electronic control board, use engine coolant.

I would think that yours is like ours…. its using the engine coolant. You would want to match what’s in there now I’d think.
There is a world of discussion about engine coolant. I use the Detroit extended. The RED stuff.

hit the rear of Guilford’s trailer at a speed of 76 mph,
Accident investigation placed a percentage of blame in this case on speed of the bus…76 mph.
California I-10 I believe is posted 70mph (cars) where this accident happened.
What a shame…..bus passengers just taking advantage of safe travel to enjoy a casino for a few hours.
And truck driver continued to work as a bus driver while the accident was investigated….unbelievable !! Who in there right mind would hire him ?
Mr Duluth might post on this message…..?
Thanks for your follow up Mark on my post.

Art,
Over the last 2+ years of full-timing, I have one of these and use on occasion, but not very often are they required.
In low level, it does crush the plastic, but I’ve still been able to use it without extensive damage.

Thanks for posting the information, Bernie. That is interesting. I initially assumed the fans were pulling the air through the radiator.

That is a scary looking trio of booths.
At the end of day the old farts are sitting down because they are wore out.
