My 76 20 foot Argosy has a rust crack in the furnace baffle - that things that looks like a steam-heat radiator. I am a fiddle player in SW Florida and don't need the furnace too much, but I assume this is a noxious fumes AND fire hazard.
What are my alternatives for heat?
Can I find a replacement furnace - new or used? (I will have to do it myself, as fiddlers have yet to be paid enough money to support vintage RV habits, at least around here - I also have this fiddle habit.......and they require new strings, bows to constantly rehair, etc.)
I'd like to have a heat source that is NOT forced air, but then I guess I'd have to be plugged in to electric - right?
Can I weld or solder the crack? It looks like a rust crack, like it's from rustiness and age.
I am rarely on this forum, so email me, please, at

Thanks,
Elisa
