Just come back from a long weekend visiting our eldest in Newcastle upon Tyne,
We woke up to frost on the ground on Monday morning to give an idea of temps,
& for the first time we felt that the Whale blown air heating on our new 840 was struggling to maintain the 20'o it was set at overnight,
I have done some investigating today & found out that the piping for the awning heater (which is useless btw!) runs under the caravan from the O/S to the N/S with the "valve" being about 6" from the outlet, so hot air is being pushed along this pipe all the time & being cooled by the draught under the caravan!
My plan is to blank off at the T piece the run to the awning vent & to insulate the remaining pipes,
Has anyone else carried out any mods to the Whale system or recommend a lagging for the air pipes?
