    My bunk heater has the Digi Control box, which is only illustrated in the manual which no instructions on how to make it work......does anyone else have this one?????

    I hit the heat wave button, the green light comes on, the heater comes on for a little while....but that's it.

    The are two little boxes with triangles in them but they only show different temps and I'm guessing one is the temp in the truck since it has gone from 78 to 73.....the lower temp is 68...what does that mean??

    It's like a thermostat, it will not run constant. Set the temp to the lowest you want to the highest you want. It will run until it gets to the high temp you set and then shut off, when the temp in your truck gets below the low temp you set, it will then kick back on warming
    Your cab until it reaches the high temp you have it set.. Etc. And that's how it works... Your truck does not run while this is on, just turn your key to the left on acc ....10-4?

    THANK YOU, Highwayman......manual says "Turn truck off"......nothing about the ACC........Fortunately this truck is so well insulated that even at 47 degrees last night it was still very comfortable in here with the truck turned completely off.

    You do not need to turn the key to ACC. Off works

    Not on a 2010 Casccadia or a 2012 Cascadia. That is what my experience is.

    Yeah, we put up the window shades and open the curtain when we use the bunk heater. That give it twice the cubic footage to heat and makes it easier to maintain a steady temp. Otherwise we get too hot
