  1. I have seen several full timers with inflatable hot tubes that hold 300 gallons. Watch a guy fold his up and roll it up inside a med sized suitcase. Fills it up with his Aqua Hot. Has a 12 volt circulation pump for circulations and drain.
  2. Jetjockey is 100% correct. I can tell he is or has been involved in the aviation industry. Garber filters ARE NOT MADE BY WIX. They are manufactured by General Filters Inc. Most Wix filters aren’t made by WIX anymore. WIX was bought out by Mann+Hummel a few years back. Also a few years back the filter industry was forced to get together and rethink their cross references on filters. Filters company’s use to list a cross reference if their filter had the same dimensions and thread and micron rating and flow rate. Not so much anymore. Hydroscopic, epoxy coating, antibacterial,anti fugal and many other factors come into play. The Garber R cross's to very few anymore. Cat, Cummins, and Volvo filters use to cross to every brand, not so much anymore.
  3. Yes start at least once a month. A Webasto DBW2010 has a nozzle with one of the smallest hole over made. They only use a 1/3 of a gallon an hour, plus they have to produce a perfect cone shaped pattern.Most oil fired nozzle use 2 to 10 gallons an hour or more. They plug up easy.
  4. Do what you want. We drain flush to its clear enough to drink than refill with new
  5. All model 100 200 500 600 450D By sides age most of these unit didn't have proper maintenance over the years. Just like like an automobile the antifreeze should be flushed and refill with new ever 5 years even every 4 years would be better or at least check the PH with a test strip. Antifreeze be it propylene or the old time stuff turns too far to the acid scale when it gets old.
  6. Before you spend a ton of money on a burner rebuild or repair. I would check and see if you are losing boiler antifreeze. We have seen a lot of cracked burn chambers this winter not sure why. Other than those unit are getting 20 years old. The fluid leaks in when the unit isn’t running and than stops after a long burn the crack closes up. On your unit it is easy to check because you have an old time radiator cap. Take the burner out borrow or rent a Stant radiator pressure pump. Pump it up to 13 PSI than look in the burn chamber for the leak. I hope that isn’t your problem but we have seen 6 since November 1st
  7. It tests everything the Webasto made box test for half the price. It tests and you can run the burner off just the test box. You can't leave it on for long periods because you are bypassing the thermostats. When you first plug it up you have a green light showing you have 12 volt power. Than there is a fuel button and spark button and a light showing the flame sensor is working. The first thing I always do is without the motor switch on you can hit fuel button and listen for the fuel solenoid to click. Than hit spark and listen real close for the coil sparking it sounds like a Tazzer. Than turn the motor on and see if your unit lights. If it lights and runs on the test box you know nothing is wrong with the burner.There is always a light showing if the flame sensor is working correctly.Time to look elsewhere. IE control box, electronic control board, Hi temp shutdown, control thermo.
  8. My dad's company makes and sells a very nice burner tester for less than 300 dead presidents.
  9. You can extend the B and C cable thru the big grommet on top and mount it outside the enclosure and put your lid back on. Louisville Engineering makes a plug and play cables to do this. In full disclosure I should point out one of the owners is my dad and I worked for them in the summer before I was commissioned into the Navy.
  10. Before Aqua Hot switched to the Garber R spin on ( which is a nice filter for an RV, because they are epoxy coated on the inside and don’t rust) they used the the Parker/Racor R12T system which is a cartridge style. The system Louisville Engineering installs and sells is the Parker/Racor R12 with an R12S element 4 micron after the fuel goes trough the original 10 micron. They let the original Garber R filter the big particles before the R12S. As for as changing anything Aqua Hot did originally, keep in mind these are the same design engineers that still today mount a burner control module under the cover cooking at 185 degrees even on 100 degree days with the Aqua Hot turned off.
  11. Wow that's a nice looking unit. I don't know what their production rate can handle but with Aqua Hot now using China copy's of the Webasto burner that might give leaky Hot a run for their money.
  12. The light stays on at the end of the cool down period unless you turn the switch off or it detected a problem. This latest box is really sensitive ver the older versions. Number one problem it will shut down for low voltage at 1.2 volts high er then the green LED board and about 2 volts before the old boxes. (1) the light has a delay when you first turn the switch on while its running about 7 different tests. Than another 2 or 3 secs before it turns on motor while its doing 2 more tests. (2) Unlike the older boxes on error the light doesn't go out until it completes the cool down 2 minute period. (3) One good thing about them is they will mask a problem with your LED electronic control board for about a year.
  13. One of the NASCAR team engineers needed one for the owners Bus for a 12.5 and he 3D printed 8 of them. I ask him if he had anymore. He said he sold them to Marathon Coach in Oregon. He thinks he might still have the CAD drawing.
  14. That rubber nipple on the air intake had a service recall years ago. You are suppose to remove it and throw it away.
