Alde heater not giving enough heat

deputydog

      On my 2015 t@b I was getting some heat but not enough to warm up cabin to be comfortable.     Located under back self behind head board is a container to fill with a product called glycol.   self removed by taken out two screws.   Mine was filled at minimum level.   after topping off, cabin became very warm.    Product purchased at RV store and its an antifreeze that's light yellow called glycol ?     Hope this helps someone.   Factory must have under filled it.

Search on “glycol”and you’ll get LOTS of good help!

@deputydog, You're on the right track, as I believe the recommended "fill" is about 1/4" above the minimum line. You'll need to bear in mind that once the glychol heats up, it will expand, so be careful not to fill the reservoir too full.

Some of these systems need to be burped, sometimes a couple of hours of run time will push the air bubbles out (burping) and then the fluid level can be brought up to correct levels. Normal in a lot of different type of coolant associated items.

Same for 3020 Alde? Not concerned now as last weekend was maiden voyage but for future reference. Many thanks!
