I don’t know if you already have it but below is a link to a DDEC IV Application and Installation Manual. In briefly looking through it, starting on page 3-23, it looks to me like it might answer some portion of your question as I understand it. Although I’m not confident that I fully understand your question.

I’m paid up but forgot what we get for our $200…
I seem to remember that it includes 4 hours of driving Jon’s Corvette but whatever else escapes me.

The fuel card is an EFS card. EFS online efsrc.promilesonline.com will show all EFS accepting stations in a specified radius with current price.

We we are in Las Vegas and thanks to all the comments and assistance. Very much appreciated. Trip went very well. For all of you with big rigs and hate steep grades and headed between Las Vegas and Phoenix try taking Highway 93. From Phoenix take Interstate 10 west to Quartzside. and then 93 north to just outside of Las Vegas and intersect with 95. Two lane yes, but there are only rolling hills and the highest hill is at Searchlight Nevada at 3800 feet. The grade was steady and lacked abrupt climbs or descents. A wonderful road and from Palm Gardens Nevada to just Las Vegas it is four lane.
As a side, if you ever get to Quartzside Arizona you must see the most unusual collection of Motorhomes, Rv’s, 5th wheels, and getto trailers you have ever seen. Thousands or rigs and a menagerie of unusual characters. Worth the stop and worth the time if you are in the area. They are parked all over the desert on public lands and in clusters of parks. Quartzside is on the Arizona/Calif. border and the fuel is cheaper than Calif. by a dollar a gallon.
One thing. Traveling through Calif. all firearms must be unloaded, in locked cases and in the cargo area under the Coach. Calif. is very tough on firearms even as you transverse the State. Mine were locked and in the rear of the Van outside of access from the drivers seat.
Also there is an agriculture inspection from Az. to Calif. They are mostly checking for bugs I think. They inspect all U-Hauls without exception.
Thanks again for all the help, it made my trip much easier.

John,
You probably have a 431/12 Aqua Hot heater. It has 4 very robust circulation pumps, 3 zone pumps and 1 engine preheat pump. These pumps rarely fail. Leaks, if any, can be repaired the the proper O-rings. In 8 years, I have not replaced one of those pumps.
The 16 gallon coolant tank contains auto antifreeze of your choice. Many use the antifreeze they use in the engine and/or generator. The coolant tank needs to be completely full all the time. The overflow hose needs to be soft and supple with clamps at the the radiator cap barb and overflow tank barb – no air leaks. Plus, the radiator cap needs to have soft supple gaskets, if old, replace with 13 lb cap.
The burner almost always needs servicing following sitting awaiting a sale. A smelly or smoking burner should be serviced soon.
If you have any questions about the heater, please feel free to contact me.

Glad to be of service. Nice to meet you.
Let me know when you go back over to the coach.
Did Jon tell you our motto here is “we make things up”?

I don’t think he is a coach owner, he does some work on coaches….
