We came back to our coach last night after visiting some hot springs. About 16 degrees when we got back. And found that we had blown a fuse for the Aquahot fans. Thermostat showed it as a balmy 46 degrees inside. Doh!
Replaced it and it blew again after about 15 minutes. Once more and heard the main blower in the salon stop while the others kept going. Looks like the VDO seized and also appears to have blown the High/Low switch as well.
Of course, it couldn't happen when the temps were in the 30s at night, it had to wait until we're planning to be where lows are in the teens for the next week.
At least with the front blower disconnected, the coach does heat up, albeit slowly. New blower motor should get here early next week. From the relevant thread, it looks like it might be some fun to replace it.
