Hurricane Engine Heat

<< < (2/2)

Carl Boger:
Thanks for everyone's help.

I am going to chalk this one up to OPERATOR ERROR!

I have to have the furnace actually running for the Engine Light to illuminate!  On my coach at least the thermostat has to be on heat, the Hurricane system turned on and once its running the engine heat switch will work.  The hurricane pump will run with the pump switch turned on or off depending on the signal it get from the control board.

As for the manual valves under the bed, I may have the only coach that does not have them.  I'm not sure if a prior owner deleted them or if they were never installed.

Anyway the good news is everything is working properly again.   
Thanks again for everyone's help.

Carl,
I initially couldn't find the seasonal valves on my 2000 Marquis either. I finally located them tucked away on the driver's side under the flooring near the bed. Had obviously been installed by someone a lot more flexible than me. :) In any case they were not at all obvious. Also found mine were labeled in reverse (summer was winter, etc).

Fred Brooks:
   Not real sure where that would be on a 98, This is what mine looks like on my 2000 Marquis under the engine hatch access between the side queen bed and the rear closet. Fred

Carl Boger:
Thanks Steve and Fred,

I actually think that mine is all the way in front in the hurricane heating/seaward hot water heater compartment.  There are 2 valves there that have to both be facing horizontal or vertical. I believe that vertical I get heat at the vents in front and horizontal I do not.  I was told early on that they had to be in the same direction so never really questioned that. 

 I have never found a valve in the engine compartment under the bed, but the next time I raise it to clean the radiator I will go on a serious search for one.

Thanks again everyone and have a Great Thanksgiving!
