Subject:97 Furnace & battery
From:Terry Tiessen
Date:Thu, 19 Mar 1998 21:00:10 -0600

Last week, I bought a 1997 Eurovan camper with 28,000 kms. I drove it
home in two long days and slept overnight on the way. At 4:30 on the
first morning I was awakened by the propane warning. The battery had run
down and the fan was not blowing.

The next night I only slept four hours at a stretch. When I woke up and
checked the battery guage it was still green which was encouraging but
the experience has left me wondering. Is battery life a problem when the
furnace needs to run much of the time on a very cold night? (It was
Northern Ontario and temperature was probably in the -20C range that
night.)

Thanks,
Terry
