Re: [A/S] New Owners and lots o' questions




There are two furnace manufacturer's left, Suburban and Atwood (HydroFlame). 
Atwood furnaces are all outside access designs and require a large outside 
access hole. Suburban was the original brand of furnace in your coach. The 
older NT series furnaces were somewhat larger than the new ones but 
essentially the same. It is necessary to block up the furnace to align the 
new outlet/inlet holes with the old ones. Since the ducting is flexible it 
not to difficult to realign the ducting. The existing wiring will work with 
the new furnace. The furnace comes with a new wall thermostat which you
should change. In some cases a catalytic heater, which is a wall mounted 
convection heater might work. It is a good economical source of heat but it 
will have a difficult time circulating enough heat in a coach of that size

There is not control panel made for the Argosy. Nor is the coach wired for 
all the inputs a control panel of the age can display.
