Water And Holding Tank Levels
Press and hold the “Levels Test” switch to
show approximate level on the monitor lights.
These approximate water levels are measured
by electronic probes in the sides of the tanks, so
the water must be touching a probe to register at
that level. There is generally more water in a tank
than indicated on the monitor panel.
For example, if the water level of 1-2” below
the FULL probe, the monitor will show the level
to be only 2/3 even though the tank is nearly full.
If the water level is below the 1/3 probe, the mon-
itor will register an empty tank because the water
is no longer touching the 1/3 probe. There may
actually be some water left in the tank. However,
when the indicator reads FULL, the tank is actu-
ally full.
Holding Tank Heaters - Optional
Your coach may be optionally equipped with
black water and grey water holding tank heaters
to allow use of water utilities in freezing temper-
atures. DO NOT operate the holding tank heaters
unless the shoreline cord is plugged into a 110-
volt source or the auxiliary generator is running
to recharge the house batteries. The chassis
engine alternator will also recharge the batteries
for use of holding tank heaters while driving
down the road.
NOTE: The holding tank heater pads are electri-
cal resistance type heating elements.
This type of heating element typically
uses a large amount of current while
operating. If the tank heaters are used
without a recharging source, they will
drain the house batteries in a relatively
short period. Typically, the batteries
would not support overnight heating
without a supplemental charging source.
LP Gas Level
Press and hold the “Levels Test” switch to
show approximate LP tank level.
The LP level is registered by a sending unit on
the tank. The gauge mounted on the side of the
tank will give a more accurate indication of actu-
al tank level if needed.
Water Pump Switch
When use of the self-contained water system
is desired, turn the “Water Pump” switch on. The
“Pump On” light will illuminate when the pump
switch is on and the system is operable. Water
will be available as soon as a faucet is opened.
Refer to “Fresh Water System” for additional in-
formation on the water pump and initial start-up.
Battery Condition Meter
Push the “Levels Test” button to check the
level of charge (voltage) in the 12-volt coach
battery. The colored segments (red, yellow and
green) will light from the bottom up to the
amount of charge the battery contains.
*
Green - good or adequate charge.
*
Yellow - marginal charge.
*
Red - battery needs charging before use.
Water Heater Switch
Be sure the water heater is filled with water
before pressing this switch. To fill the water heat-
er, turn the water pump switch on and open a hot
water faucet until water begins to flow.
On electronic ignition models, the “W.H.
Pilot” light will glow for about 10-15 seconds af-
ter the water heater switch is turned on, then it
will go off. If the light comes on during normal
operation, it means that the burner has gone into
“lockout” mode. Turn the switch off for about 5
minutes, then turn back on. See “Water Heater”
elsewhere in this section for further information.
