    Anyone have the maxxpower no-idle system? Apparently mine has locked the control panel, from what operating manual says, can't get heater to self prime and light. Suggestions?

    Not familiar with maxxpower. What bunk heater does it use? Did the fan start when you tried to turn the unit on?

    It's basically a Bergstrom nite. Believe it's an espar coolant heater.

    Called dealer he said has to be brought it and plugged in to reset the computer. Problem is no fuel to heater, its new and hasn't primed itself.

    That sucks that you have to take it to the dealer. My espar cab and cloolant heaters have always self primed. Sometimes it would take a couple of cycles. I wonder why it would be different with the maxxpower system? I just got my coolant heater working again yesterday. When you getting it going you'll love it.

    I just looked up maxxpower systems. Did you buy a binder?

    I've got a 16' Prostar that won't heat with the no-idle system as well. Took it to the company shop and they tried and now have been instructed to take it to the dealer under warranty. Looks like I'll be in a sleeping bag on cold nights until home time!
