On a 1999 SN, My 20amp ign breaker button gets stuck a bit and you have to muscle it... I plan to add a heater but noticed there is a breaker set up for a shower that I will never add. Is that a 20 amp breaker or 10amp? is the breaker I need part # S5925? |

Andy, That is the correct part number for a 20 amp breaker. I'm not sure what the factory amp was on a shower circuit. ------------- |

Andrew, With this heater you want to add, I hope the load you want to add is for a blower motor and not for an electric heating element. Understand that it takes plenty of amps to create heat. As an example, 10 amps equals 120 watts. 120 watts is only 409 BTU's. That's not much!! I suggest you take a look at the load in amps and see what's available. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Peter, Understood.... I was planning to install a Heatercraft style (not electric) and the blower is said to draw 8.5 amps on hi. I think there are 10 amp breakers in place for a heater and shower option but I have not actually checked the rating on them. |

Andrew, Yes, go this route since it's best to use the already existing prewired wiring. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
