Have had issues with the bunk heater in the FLrs. Was wondering why it was getting hot in the summer. Found out the bunk heater was on. The power switch was off, and setting was all the way to the blue or cold setting but it was kicking out heat! Don’t know if anyone else has had a blast of hot air while driving but it really sucked. Maint found that a leaky water bottle in the cabinet dripped down the back wall and contacted something with the heater. It was awful. Anyone else have the phantom heater on without the power switch on???

The way they invented this they say it will only take a very little from the battery to start and that it’ll keep running off diesel thats why they recommend to run it only 10 hrs without having an impact on your batteries. Now if your batteries are old or in need to be changed then it might affect the voltage.

It will shut off if the battery voltage goes below the set voltage so it doesn't drain your batteries. There are other videos out there to show you how to change the settings. Make sure your batteries/charging systems are good 1st.

If you haven't turned your bunk heater on for a while, it may shut off the first time you turn it on. It may even shut off the second time you turn it on. Just keep turning it on, and eventually it'll kick in.

No it does not. I have a 2022 cascadia and if you turn the ignition on it will disable the bunk heater, not enable it. If you have opti idle like I do, you have to have the bunk heater off, then turn the ignition to the on position, set opti idle to ON and interior comfort mode to "off" and then turn the bunk heater on. If you have it on and turn on the ignition it thinks you'll start the engine and it will turn the heater off.

@@thechefsmokesexperience you can set the truck to acc power but only the fan will run. If your truck has idle auto shutdown, it should idle above 80⁰, what you can do is put a pregnancy heating pad, hot hands, or a laser on the outside ambient temperature meter, which on most trucks is a tiny antenna on the top of the roof. That will keep your truck running all night. But other than that there really is no way because the ac compressor is driven by the engine itself when the truck has no auxiliary power unit.
