Re: WDH? Stupid question

I have often wondered about how I would set a WDH on my truck if I had one.

altering the thermostate

One thing I don't like about the gas heater in my Casita -- and I assume my Escape will have the same Suburban brand --- is that it is so noisy it's hard to get to sleep and stay asleep.

Re: two way vs three way refrigerators
