fireplace #2

ok so here we go I can plug to the receptacle or if know 20amp shore power
I can use an extention cord to one of the trailers receptacle.
now look at the keystone wire harness behind the stereo what a mess
so I maid a little stand to hold the wires away from the top of the fireplace.
here is the fireplace no tile had to order 2 pieces .
and today took the gen to the trailer ran the fireplace it worked great
turns off at 72 degress,so it didn't stay on long since it was 102 outside
inside trailer was 95,but it will be great this coming winter.
and for all the cougar 326mks it fits.

You should be very pleased with this fireplace as it adds a very nice, cozy and finished look to your RV. Just right for those cold California winters!
Love the photo of the wiring ---- you are right - it is a mess. Looks like a bird's nest. Did you attempt to tidy it up or just put the panel back and pretend it doesn't really look like that?
Great job!

Nice job and thanks for the pictures. At least I know I don't want to look behind the stereo.
