Jayco Greyhawk 32 SS...couple of questions

Yahoo Message Number: 2234
We spent a week at Fort Wilderness (Disneyworld) the week before
Christmas. Absolutely great trip, weather was fine and the Greyhawk
32 SS had only one minor problem. We spent the night going down and
coming back in Crestview Florida. We caught a cold snap in Crestview
both times and it was in the 20's those nights. The two ceramic
heaters we had worked fine.

However, I tried the furnace just to use it. I had tried the furnace
at home several times and it worked fine. Now all of a sudden the
fan sounds like it is hitting on something when it first starts up.
After it runs for about 30 seconds or so it quits and when it cuts
off it does it again for a few seconds. Any ideas on this? It is
still under warranty but if I can fix it myself I will save a 300
mile round trip to the dealer.

The 07 Greyhawk did just fine on the highway. This was a 1600 mile
trip and I was pleased with the handling. When an 18 wheeler gets
right beside me I got just a little buffeting but nothing bad. Then
when the 18 wheeler pulls back over in front you get a little
buffeting until he gets a little farther away. Some cars I have had
move more than the Greyhawk did.

Also, I am thinking about buying a Protect A Tow for the Greyhawk.
My toad is a 2007 CRV and I installed a US Gear UTB system. I am
using a Blue Ox Aventa LX tow bar. Has anybody put a Protect A Tow
on a Jayco Greyhawk Kodiak. Any known problems? Thanks for any help.

Forgot this:

The heater unit is an Atwood Model 8531-IV DCLA 7.6 amp and the SN is
2379511. It is a 30000 BTU input and 240000 output.

Mike, Greg Gimlick installed one and he has a 32SS and tows a Saturn.

He posted a photo to our photo section.

I'm WAY behind on reading the list, but just saw this.

I've got one and I see Don has posted the link to the photos. I've had
the Protect A Tow since I bought the new Saturn a year ago this month.
I've dragged the car 7000 miles and there isn't a mark on it. The system
draws some attention because it doesn't look like much and I had second
thoughts about spending $200 or whatever it was on it, but I'm a big fan
of it. It takes only minutes to hook up and does a great job. The only
thing you'll find is the mesh screen gets real dirty because it catches
everything so you're hands will get a bit dirty when you fold it up. I
hose it off occasionally. The pvc bar that goes over your towbar looks
like it's going to break over time, but it hasn't yet. It does bend and
occasionally the junctions get hard to take apart when you go to fold it
up, but a bit of cleaning fixes it.

Bottom line - if I need to replace it, I'll buy another one.

Take care,
Greg
