Spent the morning taking the heater apart.

Found squashed wires but they were still ok inside their sheath. The fans seemed to spin easily. The manual indicated the fuse was for the circulating fan. After wd40 the fan appeared to spin for longer – wishful thinking? After reinstalling the fuse did not blow but the heater did not fire up.

Fired the heater up on water only and it blew fuse.

Drove out to the parque natioal solar de Huasco. Saw "little emus", flamingos, llamas, vicuna’s.


Parked on the old road for the night. Truckies still honking us.
