Hi Sean,

You mentioned you liked the furnace in your EVC.  I've
checked out a couple EVCs, but noticed the furnaces
seemed to be putting out luke warmish air.  I suppose
this could be one of those safety compromises so
nobody gets burnt, but have you ever measured your
outlet air temperature?

Also I noticed a rather lengthy start up procedure for
the furnace in the operator's manual, are all those
steps necessary?  I've also noticed the bottom
register seems to be blowing more air than the top
one.  Is that normal?  I just wondered if there was
some maintenance that needs to be done to keep the EVC
furnace running hotter?  Of course, every EVC saleman
says that's the way the furnace is supposed to work,
and that eventually it warms up the van, but you know
how that story goes.
