[A/S] Heat Element in A/C



My '93 Excella came with the accessory heat element in the roof A/C unit.
It is very handy in cool weather used alone when hooked up to shore power of
course.  The unexpected advantage that I discovered after several years is
that with the LPG furnaces on and operating, turning the roof A/C unit on in
the heat mode using the electric heat element works great to distribute heat
evenly throughout the trailer.  The powerful fan in the A/C unit running
continuously on low speed keeps the heated air circulating and makes the
inside temperature more consistent from front to rear and ceiling to floor.
