A real quick one (maybe!). Apart from the obvious difference, why are there
two temperatures of thermostat listed (74° and 82°) for the Series III? I
need a new one and my local parts supplier has the 82° one on the shelf.
The one that came out is a 74° one ('75 SWB 2.25 diesel). Is there a
special reason for the different temperatures, or are they essentially
interchageable?

Thanks
Steve

normally summer and winter - use the lower value in summer so it gets enough
cooling and the higher one in winter so you have some hope of the heater
producing warm air...

Series Heater. Warm Air. Those two are mutually incompatable.

that's why I said "some hope" and "warm".
