[VAC] Re: replacment heater

["James Greene" <drgreene@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Leslie, it was always my impression that for cold weather use (below
freezing) the plumbing system in an Airstream depended on the routing of the
furnace duct work for furnace heat to prevent freeze up and possible damage
to the water lines. Would the radiant heat from a catalytic heater provide
the same freeze protection without forced air circulation? Maybe some
vintage owners with catalytic heaters could tell us. I'm interested because
I'm not entirely comfortable with the furnace in my Tradewind and am
considering whether to replace it.
