Mike I used the Primus in my Eagle with radiant heat the only way to go no cold spots in ran down both sides of the bus, engine pre heat,generator pre heat,bay heat with the option to run the system from the engine while driving and hot water.
I sold my Eagle but a guy here I sold it to his screen name is saddleup has all the drawings for the wiring, relays,pumps the hole 9 balls on the system contact Matt.
Fwiw I had the 2 boiler system never ever ran but 1 boiler was never a need you can also get a electric immersion heater for the Primus to use when you have power oops forgot to tell you a Swedish Co called Alde owns Primus now you can download from their site

good luck

My bus is set up that way also. I have the two boiler system also. Propane and electric. The bus is on three zones and all the floors, stairs and shower is on it. I have a separate water heater though. It seems to keep the bus warm in Alaska, even down to 0.
I also have all kinds of literature if you need.

Clifford, I believe I have a pump gone bad on mine, do you know where I might locate a replacement for it?  Do you have a link for Alde?  Do you know where butterflies sleep at night?

Yeppers!  Boiling out big time, runs fine for awhile, and then it just sort of just empties the res.  Send me an email or call me on the telephone and we will work out the details.

You are okay ... and I appreciate it.

Beats me, I thought Clifford would know for sure, but he didn't.  If you get anything on this, let me know, my 4 year old grandchild is bugging ther ____ out of me.
