Re: [VAC] Suburban furnace




Hi Mary, 

If I had seen your note before your visit today, I'd have shown
you the tiny muffin fan I installed near the roof line in the
front corner (above and behind where you were sitting). It is
almost silent and moves heated air from the 10,000 BTU ceramic
heater by the door. The fan uses a miniscule amount of 12 volt
power and is used only when needed (seldom). The writing table in
front of the heater is Sandie's favorite breakfast spot on cold
chilly mornings (Brownsville, TX in January). 

The cigar lighter recepticle behind the TV set is where we access
12 volt power. For most vintage boondockers, the factory furnace
with its power hungry fan is overkill. But, on the other hand,
none of us have excess storage space.

In friendship,
Terry & Sandie
