I would like some information on what type duct work do you run and where do you run it. I plan on using a suburban 35,0000 btu heater in a mci-8
Thanks,

This is your lucky day. I have been there and done that. I don't know where you are on your construction. Here is what I did on my 8. I stripped my bus to the frame. This included the floor. I noticed the duct down the centerof my bus and thought this would be a good place for my centeral heat. I removed the AC evaporator & the heater core. I capped the heater core lines so I could still use the dash heat. This is another story. I made one side of the return air supply to the ductwork and the other side return air. I leveled the floor up to the drivers area. I put a furnace filther in the area that was left open. I put a 35,000 BTU surburban furnace in the compartment where the heater core and AC evaporator was. It requiers some sheet metal work but not a lot. I used the furnace that has forced air combustion chamber. If I can help you let me know. If you are going to keep the bus heat or air then this will not work. Earl |

Another approach.
I put the heater (35000 propane) behind the booth in a storage area. I ran flex insulated duct into the booth bottoms, one blows forward and the other into the aisle. Then one duct goes to the rear bedroom and blows out from under built in bed.
I thought about running it under but this was easy, fast , and I can always run another outlet if needed.
The ducts are in a 6" by 6" box along the side wall (carpeted where exposewd).
I know it works good we just came back from the Arcadia rally it was cold and we were toasty all nite. |
