2020 Classic
Tank Heaters
12-volt heat pads are installed with the fresh, gray, and
black water tanks� The tank pads can be controlled
by the main Multiplex control panel located on the
galley wall or the wall next to the sofa, depending on
the model or with the push button in the Bath area�
When the outside temperature is near freezing, simply
switch “ON” the holding tank heaters� Built-in sensors
will activate the heat pads when the contents of the
tank drops to 44°F� Once the liquid is heated and rises
to 64°F the heat pads will automatically deactivate�
Switch the power “OFF” when the ambient outside
temperature remains above freezing or when tanks are
empty� To conserve battery power, RV antifreeze may
be used to protect the gray and black tanks�
NOTE
Drain and winterize all models if the water systems
are not being used during winter traveling. Refer
to Section 8 - Maintenance in this manual for
winterizing instructions.
Safety
As always, safety should be a top priority� Ensure
you and everyone traveling with you can operate the
main door and emergency exit window rapidly, without
light� Contemplate other means of escape in case the
designated exits are blocked�
The escape windows(s) are identified by their red
release handles� Lift up on both latches to release the
escape window� Push on the glass and it will swing
clear�
WARNING
The window operation should be checked before
each trip and the latches lubricated with silicon
spray or an equivalent lubricant every 3 months.
WARNING
Read the directions on the fire extinguisher
carefully. If you have any doubts as to its
operation, you and your family should practice,
and then replace or recharge the extinguisher. Your
local fire department will be able to assist you and
answer any questions.
WARNING
Don’t smoke inside the trailer. Keep matches out of
reach of small children. Don’t clean with flammable
material. Keep flammable material away from open
flame. Always shut off the LP gas at the bottles
when fueling a tow vehicle.
We have all heard the above warnings many times,
yet the situations or occurrences they discuss are still
among the leading causes of fires.

trailer is located in Section 6 - Exterior of this manual�
