  1. The Houghton is a stand alone unit. You only connect the 120v AC electrical to it. It has a remote control like a TV. So I kept my old thermostat to control the furnace. I wrote an article on how to make the furnace to work. It fits the same plenum with out any modifications. It is an easy instillation. If you decide to go that way I can walk you thru it. In the air conditioning threads look at “ Houghton Install/Thermostat Dead”. It has pictures etc… how I did the install to make everything work.

  2. I can get measurements for you tomorrow from my 2007 Diplomat. If you call Source Engineering and talk to (Jim) if I remember the name correctly he knows exactly what you need. I just told him which motorhome I had and the fan he sent fit correctly. The hardest part is adjusting the shroud depth to fit in the middle of the new fan blades. I had to get a fan spacer and Jim knows that part number also.

    Just PM me if still want the measurements.

  3. I have stayed in my diplomat with single digit temps. Make sure your propane is full because heat pumps are not going to work. Get a small electric heater about 450 watts and put in service bay. I use an extension chord from a source other than the motor home if possible. If not plug it into the receptacle where you plug in your block heater. If you will get 2-3 electric heaters for inside will help save on propane. I use the milk house heaters because they are all metal and the have overheat and tip over switches. If you put your slides in that also helps. Get you a roll of double bubble insulation and cut it to fit every window and the windshield. After placing them pull your shades down to hold in place. It is unreal how much the insulating the windshield makes. Put pillows or some foam in your over head vents also. Get some Velcro and use the insulation to cover your sky light in the bath. I have also used that same insulation and lined the cabinets that are in the slides.
