If you go the aqua hot website you can go to the find a service centerror tab and it will help you locate a qualified technician. Trust me you don't want someone who's not qualified to be working on it. It will cast you in the long run.

Doesn't the chassis batteries get charged by the converter when you're plugged in? The alternator charges the house batteries when the engine is running.

You'll find the information on a tag on top of the heater or just in side the cover depending on the model you have.

Joe, I had to learn the hard way on my aqua hot system, there is some annual service that aqua hot recommends to be done: Replace the fuel filter and the injector cone Have the igniter adjusted, Check the state of the antifreeze in the system ( check it to make sure it is still good for -20 or below. They recommend this service to be done annually whether you use the system a little or all the time. Our coach was less than 2 years old and used very little when we bought it but our first trip north we found out that the service had never been done when I noticed that it was smoking really bad and we had no heat. When this is the only source of heat that's a really bad time to find this out as it was 4 degrees out at the time. My manual does not say anything about running the system with RV antifreeze in the system but it does say NOT to run the system without water in the system. If you find your model# and go to aqua hot's website you can find and download the manual for your system. Hope this helps.

Advice On Towing A Trailer With 43' Allegro Bus
Showinoff replied to Showinoff's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
As an example I looked at Iowa and Florida for some broad spectrum of information and found that Iowa has a maximum length of 45' for the motorhome and a combination length of 65' as to Florida having a maximum length of 50' for the motorhome and a combination of 65' long. Either way if you tow a car or trailer over 17' for the 45'er or 12' for the 50'er (excluding the hitch at an average of 3' long) you are in violation of the law, and yet we see it every day in every state. It forces us to utilize a smaller motorhome to be legal. I wish I could tell them that there home is to big and they can't have a motorcycle and a car. -
Advice On Towing A Trailer With 43' Allegro Bus

Thanks for the reply but I cannot find where this site is accredited with anyone also the last update for the site was over 9 years ago I have looked at some of the individual states through their dot sites and found that the site you are quoting is using some out dated information and most of it is for commercial motor vehicles. I just thought I'd share this with you in case you are using this site for personal reference. -
Advice On Towing A Trailer With 43' Allegro Bus

I also see busses with 30' or larger stacker trailers or some other style of trailer whether it is a cargo trailer or a big pontoon or speed boat. I'm sure some of these combos are well over 75' long. Are they getting permits? Or are they just flying by the seat of there pants? I have not found any information that pertains to a motor home towing anything so where are you guys getting all of this information? -
Advice On Towing A Trailer With 43' Allegro Bus
Showinoff replied to Showinoff's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
So what I am reading here is that in most states your not legal even towing your car! I see 45' busses with a suburban or similar vehicle in tow, the suburban is at least 20 or more feet long plus the tow bar of at least 3 feet. Then to top that off the put a rack on the back for extras or bikes and so on. So what gives? -
Advice On Towing A Trailer With 43' Allegro Bus

I checked and I can tow 10,000 #. I think only the big engines (500 + hp) can tow 15,000#'s. -
Personally after a lot of research and talking with my friends and customers the Allegro Bus is the best bang for the buck and they take care of their customers. You don't just buy an Allegro you become a member of the family.

I have a 43 foot Allegro bus that can tow up to 10,000 #'s, I would like to be able to load my full dress Harley Davidson that's just over 8' long and right at 1000#'s plus my wife's car that is just over 15' long and 4500#'s. I have been looking at USA cargo trailers out of Douglas GA. They have a V nose trailer that I can spec out the way I want. What is the best tongue length to keep from getting into the back of the motor home? Has anyone trailered a combination like this? If you have towed a combination like this what size of trailer did you use was it a V nose or a flat nose ( I think I can gain some useful space in the V to shorten the needed length of the trailer by getting the front wheel of the bike in the V). I have calculated the weight and should be fine. Any thoughts? I would like to be able to load the bike sideways but it is to long to do that so it will have to be loaded straight in with the car behind it. Selling the bike for a smaller one is not an option. I am not concerned with parking issues as I have been pulling my 5th wheel with a semi tractor combination that was over 75 feet long and had no problems with parking. Is there anything that I am not considering here? Any suggestions on this subject would be very helpful.
