Country Coach and the 1/2 M$llion dollar coaches offer this and some folks won't have anything else. During the 15 minutes I sold RV's we offered a $100,000.00 discount to a Country Coach buyer who turned it down because it didn't have Aqua-Hot.

OK, thanks for the input. This system is a component of an older (a lot-older than $500K) coach that we were drooling over. Looks really trick but the 3-to-5 gallons of diesel per day seemed like a big negative. Don't know if there are any other sources of heat available or not. Interesting though. Never seen that feature.

I'm sure when they're working these systems heat beautifully, quietly, and more comfortably than the best standard RV hot air furnaces, but there's lots of stuff to go wrong, and when they get old it usually does.

You've got a diesel oil burner, electric circulating pumps, and several heat exchangers, all circulating their own operating fluid through rubber or plastic lines, with electronic controls, and engine coolant circulating through the oil burner besides, to transfer engine heat into the system.

Lots of joints to leak, and stuff to break down on a frosty morning in the middle of nowhere, and that's always when they do.

Just think if you was using LP.to do the same how many gal you would use::Put a little diesel treatment in the diesel will improve it:
