Cut or torn cable. Have a Damon dealer or a qualified RV technician replace bad 

cable where needed at TV and antenna.

Elevation handle turns, but antenna does not raise or lower.

Handle may be loose. Tighten screws.
Gears may be stripped. Have a Damon dealer or a qualified RV technician replace 

the gears.

Antenna will not rotate.

The rotate handle is engaged to the ceiling plate. Pull down on handle to disengage 

from the ceiling plate.
Possible obstruction (tree branch, etc.). Remove obstruction. 
Friction adjustment. Adjust center lock nut.
Design of antenna limits rotation to 350°. Adjust as necessary.

Waste tank (black) will not drain.

Buildup or debris in tank. Check for buildup in tank at stool.
Always use a minimum amount of biodegradable toilet paper.
Always use plenty of water when flushing.
Check termination valve for proper operation.

Temperature-pressure relief valve weeping.

Weeping or dripping of relief valve while water heater is running does NOT  

mean it is faulty. 

There is an odor that smells like rotten eggs.

If your fresh water source has a rotten egg odor, you will need to find another source 

of fresh water before flushing and refilling the entire RV water storage system. To 

remove the hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg) odor:
Turn off your main water supply; that is your pump or your water hookup source.
Drain your water heater tank by removing the drain plug. Approximately two quarts 

of water will remain in the bottom of the tank. If you notice during the draining that 

the water is flowing sporadically or slowly, instead of flowing freely, you should open 

your relief valve to allow air into the tank.
If the water does not flow freely, take a small gauge wire or coat hanger and push 

through the drain opening to eliminate any obstructions.
After thoroughly draining the tank, flush the entire system from the water inlet all 

the way to the holding tank. To flush, use four parts of vinegar mixed with two parts 

of water. If you decide to use air pressure ( 55 PSI max.), it may be applied either 

through the inlet or outlet on the rear of the tank. It may also be applied through the 

relief valve port. In this case, it will be necessary to first remove the relief valve. You 

may then insert your air pressure through the relief valve support flange. In either 

case, with the drain valve open, the air pressure will force the remaining water out 

of the tank. If air pressure is unavailable, you may flush your tank with fresh water.
