Boy, do I feel stupid--I bought this 28-foot Blue Bird knowing nothing about Skoolies or RVs.
It isn't a generator at all. It's a diesel heater, manufactured by Webasto. Made in Germany, they are, or were, coveted and cost a fair amount. The conversion was done in 2003, and bus apparently spent time in Alaska--it also has a propane furnace and block heater for engine.
I'm scratching head about what, if anything, to do about this.
My inclination is nothing. It's a liveaboard, with 110 shore power near Seattle, where the worst it gets is low 20s and not for long. I don't know much about electricity. If I can get by with a 1,500 watt space heater, I'm thinking I'll be OK.
