Interesting. I think what you're saying is that this switch turned on the pump that is internal to my Oasis now. In the hurricane it started the pump which moved the hurricane liquid throughout the coach. So, with the CAT engine on, the CAT antifreeze is circulating through the heat exchanger and warming up the Oasis, and since the thermostat is what controls my Oasis, then, yes, the COACH HEAT is now unnecessary. Sounds like question resolved. So the only thing I need to do is turn on the thermostat which then starts the pump. I don't need to actually turn on either the diesel or the electric if I am willing to wait for the CAT engine to warm up the Oasis. I do, however, need to turn on the Oasis unit at the unit itself as otherwise its not powered up to allow the thermostat to start the pump.
