More stupid newbie questions!
You guys are great for your willingness to help out!
Ok, the lighted switch on the panel that's labeled "Water HTR 110V" ...when we're hooked to shore power, do we just leave that on continuously? We're just turning it on when we think we'll need hot water to save electricity. And not to overheat the water in the tank.
How does the system work? We do notice a propane switch for the water heater too. We are assuming that we'd use that when not hooked to shore power to heat the water.
However, we notice that the water is somewhat hot even though we don't have the electric switch turned to "on" so something is automatically heating the water somewhat without our knowing it. We haven't started the engine in days so we know it's not the Motor Aid. What's heating the water? And what should be the procedure when hooked to shore power in a camp site? Just leave the switch on all the time?
Next question: The owner's manual states that we "should" have the engine running when operating the slide outs. However, if we are hooked to shore power, do we have to have the engine running to be operating the slides? We can understand that if we were not on shore power but are the hydraulics the slides use electrically motivated? Is it an absolute must to have the engine running?
Thanks again!!!
