  1. I am going to reach out to the seller of these heaters for more information. I understand the concerns of using propane inside. I plan on using my camper mostly off the electrical grid so I need heat that is not as electricity dependent as the oem unit. The oem heater works fine. I pulled it out and cleaned the brushes and lubricated bearings with high temp lubricants. Installed a new digital thermostat over by the over cab so I can reach it from bed. My plan is to use a propane unit only with proper ventilation and only when I am away. I will set the oem unit to turn on at 55 or so at night. Again thanks for the yip on the heaters
  2. Thanks for your responses. Yes, I can be more specific. I have yet to see the new converter. It should arrive today. The AC side is pretty clear. The wiring from the converter 12 volt DC fuses to the load is clear. I have identified and labeled all that wiring. The part that is not clear is the DC side between the battery and the converter unit. I know that once I see it it will be clear. My plan is to install two 6 volt car batteries once the job is done. Any recommendations as to where to place the batteries? Dale
  3. I am researching a way to do a permanent install of either a blue flame, catalytic, or ceramic heater in my 1988 dolphin. Has anyone out there done it? Thanks Dale
  4. I am upgrading the converter on my 1988 dolphin. So far I have removed the old converter and traced out and labeled all wires. The new unit has yet to arrive. I have reviewed an online copy of the installation instructions from the manufacturer and they leave a bit to be desired. If anyone has done a converter swap on their rig using PD4045 converter, or any other converter please let me know what you learned. Once this converter is installed I want to install two 6 volt batteries in series. Have yet to decide where to put the batteries. Any kicks the correct direction would be appreciated. Thanks Dale
