Doug. You are in great position.

We used Oasis heating system, which is one of the biggest competitors for Aqua-Hot. So far everything has worked out, with them, and we love our bus heat.

John,

Do you mind telling me what kind of cost the Oasis system was and did you go with the complete system including the distribution box?

Thanks,
Bryan

 had that propane boiler bookmarked and now I can't find it. DRAT!  Clifford seems to have the same or similar system.  I expect he will post further info on brand and capacity.  He sounds like he sure likes the propane boiler.

The system I saw was up at Bus-N-2009 at Rickreal, Or. south of Portland.  The guy that gave me the tour was from Washington.  I know that David from Southern Or. D is a friend of his and can put me in touch.  It will take a while, is all.

SCHWARZINAGER!   (I'll be back)

I have the Primus system with 2 boilers never had to use but 1 boiler it uses about 1 gal of propane in 24 hrs at below freezing.
Cole had Aqua-Hot build him a propane unit to replace his diesel fired unit.
Aqua-Hot sells a propane unit now but uses more propane than a Primus system but still a lot less than a diesel fired system.
Aqua-Hot diesel fired systems will use 4 to 6 gals of fuel per day under normal use according to Aqua-Hot that adds up @ 3 bucks a gal compaired to my tops of less than 3 bucks a day


good luck

Bryan,

I believe they are between 9 and 10K. We purchased EVERYTHING from them, including all of the hose, and fittings. We do have the distro module, and it works great. We have their largest heater (I think for the RV's), and 6 heater cores upstairs (assorted sizes). We also have the preheat, which I love.

If you want good info, talk to Ken Elwell. He is the vice president of something, but I can't remember what. He has built that equipment, and knows it inside and out. He is a good straight guy.

FWIW

God bless,

John

Is about $2 a pound the going rate for lead sheet?  That stuff really adds when using 4 lbs a square foot.

I would probably use it only over the engine compartment and bedroom where noise is the worst.
