Marine Cabin Heaters vs Baseboard Radiators

[Jeremy]

I've actually bookmarked that site as there is loads of useful information. I didn't see anything about bus systems specifically, but there may be something amongst the PDFs. The boat system schematics would be just as applicable though I'd have thought.

An inexpensive option is to get the rear heater unit out of a retired school bus.

Often twin fans, controllable for low/high, and some louvers for the discharges.

Same thing as the linked marine cabin heater.

Visit the bus scrapper near you!

happy coaching!

That is exactly what we bought on eBay, a new one that was a spare on somebody's shelf. We ripped out the old driver heater and slapped the new one in. Man, that puppy sure puts out the heat. It has two outlets for a defroster also, plus main cabin heat.

Any idea what to search for?  I tried 'school bus heater' and didn't really get anywhere - is there an industry name for these types of heaters?

I don't remember how I found it, a couple of years ago and the seller is no longer on eBay. Sometimes these things just pop up for no reason, keep looking.

Try looking under Red Dot heaters. I will check the coach and see if thats what is in ours.
