hi russ,

so....i think i have the understanding of the aquahot. but...

like when we were on our trip this summer and it was hot enough to run the air conditioning virtually all the time. if we wanted hot water or to take a shower, we would just turn on the diesel boiler side of the aquahot for ten minutes and it would heat up and we would take a shower or whatever.

then i would turn it off.

since i was plugged in to 50 amps alot, i still couldnt keep the electric side of the aquahot on because as you have said, it would shut the air conditioners off, (which we didnt want).

if we were plugged in and it was not necessary to run the air conditioners, then i could keep the electric side of the heater on. to be honest, i am not even sure i have tried the electric element side. i know i have turned it on and it for sure shuts the air conditioners off.

we also noticed that if we had been driving for some time and stopped for the night, that in the morning there was enough hot water for showers. not lots of showers for a long time but plenty for a quick shower.

i also sure wish my thermostats displayed the room temperature rather than ONLY the setpoint temperature. i have to imagine there is a setting to do that but for the life of me i have not found it yet.

the aquahot heating sure works good i think. have not tried it in the cold weather, but when we had it cool in the coach on our trip, i went in the mid bath and it was blistering hot in there. our grandson had turned on the thermostat while we were driving and it heated up for some time in there.....

i must say, i have learned alot from russ and steve bare on the aquahot system. as well as roger the aquahot repair guy.

thanks

tom
