connecting a portable solar panel, a separate solar
charge controller is not needed and will reduce
the effectiveness of the portable solar panel.
NOTE: The Solar Charge Panel is not intended
to make the coach battery system
“maintenance free.” The solar panel will
not completely compensate for
continuous low amperage draw from
components such as the dash radio clock,
and the radio station memory circuitry,
for example.
Although the Solar Charge Panel can
help to extend battery life, the
motorhome shoreline should be plugged
in routinely to “top off” the batteries. We
also recommend following regular
battery inspection and maintenance,
especially in cold weather.
See “Battery Care” in Section 6 -
Electrical.
Further Information
Refer to the manufacturer’s user manual
provided in your InfoCase for complete operating
instructions.
HYDRONIC HEATING SYSTEM
–If Equipped
The Hydronic Heating System in your RV
provides a continuous supply of hot water and
interior heat. This system features a 12-volt DC
powered diesel burner (which utilizes on-board
diesel fuel) and a 120-volt AC electric heating
element, along with a propylene glycol-based
antifreeze and water heating solution to give you
the luxury of quiet, continuous warmth in your
motorhome.
Monitor Panel
Located above the Expansion Fill Tank is the
monitor panel for the water heater. It allows the
user to check the status of the hot water systems
and allow for a system check. See the Hydronic
Heating System Operation Manual in your
InfoCase for further operation and usage.
Single Solar Port
(Located on an exterior sidewall or
inside an exterior compartment,
depending on model)
NOTICE
If operating the heating system or
generator, always maintain 1/4 tank of
diesel fuel to ensure proper system
operation.The heating system or
generator will shut down if the diesel fuel
tank is below 1/4 tank. The system is
designed to prevent you from depleting
the entire fuel tank.
