OTR Heating System Removal

[Oonrahnjay]

when I sold my M C I the new owner picked it up and it was - 17 out and he insisted to drive it to Thunder bay Ontario and when he got home it was -37 . I told him he was nuts but he said they drive in it every day  ...

      Just another pretty day in May up there in the GWN, eh, Dave?

My interest in other builds regards to the otr heater removal is needs.
Believe me I try to understand cold, and to me it is a real pain. With respect to all, I think a reduced otr core size, fan selection and most likely relocation is my interest. At the present 😁

Good day

My coach has the front OTR in place, the rest of the coach is heated via a 100K Webasto blast furnance. Removing the oem otr heating throughout the coach seems acceptable with other heating means while driving and parked.

Heating while off-the-pole/boondocking is also a consideration. I believe Scott is electric only which adds another variable to the keeping warm equation. Like everything with these old buses, there is no one size fits all answers or solutions.

      Oh, yeah - my sympathies on the terrible heat wave that you're having to endure!   (And I apologize for rankin' too much on Canadian weather there, eh?   But I spent too many winters in Timmins to not feel a bit like I'm allowed to get back a little.)

      Seriously, the big issue is "are we building living spaces or are we 'camping'".   I think that most of us have families and responsibilities and that the only way to build is to incorporate systems that are safe and comfortable for our intended uses and worst-case situations that we are likely to get into.  I cringe at some of the "it will be good enough" comments, but I guess we all do it our own way.  But my way is going to be safe and comfortable (even though I plan to run well away from anything that reminds me of Timmins!)
