Should you ever develop a leak in the
engine cooling system, do not forget
to check the motor aid water heater
supply hoses and connections for
leaks in addition to the regular cool-
ing system area.

Motor Aid Water Heater:
Your motorhome is equipped with a system
whereby heat from the engine cooling system is
used to heat water in your fresh water system
while you are driving (known as a "Motor Aid"
heater). Hoses from the engine cooling system
are routed to a heat exchanger surrounding the
water heater tank. As a rule, the water in the
heater tank will be heated to about 140 degrees
F in about 2 hours or 100 miles of driving time.
This means that you will have hot water at the
faucets when you arrive at your campsite or any
time while you are driving. The motor aid water
heater also provides additional cooling capac-
ity to your engine cooling system allowing the
engine to run cooler under hot conditions.
