We finally did the unthinkable

I meant with the heater. I don’t notice any difference in the shower.

Ah, the way I read all the posts above were about heating water.

I had to reread that as well, I thought we were all on the water heater.

Still a bit confused.  The air in the coach isn't mixed with the combustion process.   A flame is heating a tube with air passing though it.  How that tube is heated has no affect on the air in your coach.  Unless there are leaks.  Which would/could/may bring CO gasses in.

Sorry for the side bar In Excess...

 
How about some pictures for what you guys are talking about…

 
Congrats!! We ordered a new Renegade Verona 40VRB in Jan of 2020 and took delivery in July of 2020. We love the coach, but unfortunately, we have had a lot of issues, mainly with the Aquahot 250D. It has never worked correctly since day one! I've had it at Transwest in Fontana...where we bought it...numerous times and the Aquahot would work for a day then quit. I finally had enough and got on the FB Renegade page and went on a rant about it. Kyle at Sport Truck in Chandler reached out to me and, and for the first time, I got some help! I'm getting a completely new Aquahot and they are repairing several other issues and I'm confident it will be right when we get it back in a week or two! It was totally worth the 5 hour drive to work with people that understand the coach and know what they are doing!

We will stick with Renegade and probably move up to a classic in a coupe of years!        

 
Congratulations

Renegade makes some great coach’s. Not sure if you have other options for the hydronics system but if an Oasis is available over an Aquahot I would consider that we had the Oasis in our Newmar pusher and had zero issues with it just kept it serviced on schedule worked great. I do not believe any of them work great on electric only, we always turned on the boiler for showers.

They are hydronic heaters, not air. You have a closed loop heated fluid that circulates around to local heat exchangers with small fans. The fans blow across the exchangers and heat the coach. The hot water system uses the same boiler but a secondary exchanger to heat the water.

OK.  That really doesn't change my question.  How does that make the air in the coach different from propane?

It doesn't. Just a different fuel and way of heating and distributing the heat. One big difference though is with propane it puts lots of moisture in the air. You know how you get lots of condensation on the inside of your windows when running your propane heat. You don't that with this system

Of what year? Or are you talking only chassis delivery to Renegade? What is projected completion of the coach and delivery to you? Most of the Renegade custom line are being quoted year + currently I believe? Maybe the Sport Decks come much faster since the coach portion is easier?

Toter went in production this week, completion in early July. My friend at factory will be taking pictures along the way. 
 

currently the hitch is being installed, next it heads to chassis electrical 

 
I was told the exterior walls were on it today, that means the floor structure was on the coach and possibly the roof was on. Completion at factory 3rd week of June

I will have it by august 1 roughly 

 
Todays progress, I’m shocked at how fast it’s coming together
