On the Wanderlodge board, one guy has sort of a radiant heat setup. No tubes in the floor, but air-forced radiators that are distributed throughout the coach, and are heated by a modern "Boiler". Also, He's able (I think) to divert the flow through the engine, as a sort of a block heater.

Anybody have any Ideas on this?

Sounds like a Webasto set up to me.

Gary, this looks very similiar to the boiler in my Webasto. Just does not have all the cabnetry and maybe some controls. I believe Aqua Hot sells a similiar system, along with the complete Webasto system.

Richard,

What was the cost of the Webasto?

I think a complete package is in the $6,000 range, but I am not sure.

Go to this web page and review the Aqua Hot and the Webasto. In the Webasto section is a photo of the furnace and it looks like the one in Pro Heat.

Does anyone has a source for the "forced-air radiators"? I have search on kick board heaters but have come up empty handed. Thanks in advance.

I bought some MSR-909 toespace heaters from Sure Marine in Seattle, WA. (www.suremarine.com) 7000 BTU and 90 CFM. Work great but noisier than the squirrel cage blower ones from Aqua-Hot. Lots cheaper though at a list price of $157 compared to $235. I think it's River Marine in British Columbia, Canada that has a great website for the whole line of heaters, toespace as well as wall and dashboard types. Do a search for River Marine or MSR-909.
