Aqua Hot System Replacement - racer1 - 09-18-2024

Hello all, 
My coach is a 1999 and the Aqua Hot system needs replaced (everything is bad and manifolds leak). Last I checked this is a $15,000 plus project. Are there any reasonable alternatives to the Aqua Hot System or do I just have to grin and bare it and spend the $$$$?

Racer1,

If you search this site, you will find that Rudy is THE GUY when it comes to Aquahot. He is an all around great guy and will not steer you wrong. Give him a call and see what he says.

Howdy and welcome to the gurus.

I see this is your first visit. Please take the time to add a signature using the USER CP. It will help us help you in the future. It would also be helpful to make a post under New Members telling us about your self. In particular your experience in RVing, mechanical, and electrical skills. As you can imagine with new members we don’t know if you build race cars for a living or you’re completely uncomfortable with a screwdriver. Not making any judgements, just saying the answer is tailored to you.

That being said, I fall into the camp of anything can be fixed. Buying a new one is the LAST resort in my book.

Your post sort of bleeds frustration. The AH units in our coaches are pretty robust, and when sorted out work extremely well. There is not much on them that cannot be repaired for far less than the total replacement cost.

It might be worth your time to post exactly what the problems are instead of everything is bad and the manifolds leak.

Is it leaking coolant ? If so, where?
Is it leaking fresh water, and if so where?
Does if heat water on electric?
Does the diesel burner fire?
Is the diesel burner flaky in operation?
