In this issue we feature the SoCal NRG (Non-Rally Gathering) written by Pam Saraceni.  A group of us met at the East Shore RV Park in San Dimas, CA located high on the hillside overlooking Puddingstone Lake.  There were 25 buses in attendance and more than twice as many people as some folks brought their entire family.  A good time was had by all.  To see some photos and read the first page of the gathering click here...

There are also two articles regarding Maintaining and Servicing your Webasto Burner in this issue.  These units should be serviced annually to provide you optimum service and to ensure their longevity and will basically last forever if they are maintained properly.  The key is to have a knowledgeable technician service your unit.  Lloyd DeGerald from Paron, Arkansas travels to several rallies each year and even has annual scheduled stops along the way at dealers and owners where he services their Aqua-Hot, Webasto and Hydro-Hot units.  He also services mine every year in Quartzsite and it always runs like a top, thanks to Lloyds magic touch. You can see Lloyds schedule in our magazine each month or view his schedule at http://lloyddegerald.com/locate-me-calendar.  If you have one of these units, you owe it to yourself to have Lloyd check out your unit to ensure it stays in top notch condition.

Bruce Fay wrote an article about servicing his Aqua-Hot system with a Webasto unit in his H3-40 VIP Royale Coach Prevost conversion.  Read the first page of his very detailed article about him servicing his own unit here.  It is not very difficult but not for the faint of heart either, which is why I let Lloyd take care of mine.

Lloyd DeGerald wrote an article including the tools you will need for Basic Maintenance Procedure for a Webasto Diesel Burner.  Check out his article here and if you have any questions, Lloyd will be glad to help you if you call him or better yet, try to meet up with him at one of the many rallies he attends throughout the year.
