At least the Aquahot appears to be working great. Consider this...

I think your bucket needs a heat shield.

Clifford, you're old enough to remember the song, "My bucket's got a hole in it!"

As long as the hole's not on the bottom because that's probably where the best bucket list items are!

LOL only thing left on the bucket list is sky diving with my 2 granddaughters in Texas next year

I found skydiving to be a tremendous letdown.
You do know the sort of things they say about people who jump out of perfectly good airplanes right?

I got the biggest kick out of running the Gauley river. Liked it so much I did it professionally for a dozen years.

Clifford,


I know the scene very well but I got lucky and nothing burned or caught fire. Couple days ago, weather started getting pretty chilly in the morning so the Webasto gets called to duty. Next morning, discovered the exhaust path just missed a three drawer plastic storage unit. Next day, nearly got my ebike.



 Finally on the mental checklist I hope -  Stay clear of that area!

Almost started a grass fire the first time I fired up the Webasto on our 4106. About a dozen flaming nuts went flying out the exhaust pipe over about 5 minutes time. Quite the sight, me chasing down all the smoldering grass spots trying to figure out what was going on. I was so excited to have finally gotten the unit to light up I didn't even think to look at the exhaust until it was too late.

I got tired of the exhaust and the stink so I put a stack on it and changed it out to a pro heat unit

I have never been a fan of Aqua Hot I have the Aqua Hot ll 50,000 BTU and have to admit in does a good job with no smoke or smell with no trouble it really works good on electric when on the pole too.I like the floor heat in the Country Coach to I turned it on last night it was nice this morning

Just cut out a similar sized piece from another old bucket and get a propane torch and melt it into there. It won't leak if you take your time.
