I have a dumb question (we are newbies). Where do I check the amps?

Thanks in Advance

If you don`t have the right tools or are no comfortable doing this just leave it to the dealer. You need a clamp on multi meter that can measure DC amps. Just take down the panel that has your tank heaters switches in it (you should have 3 switches that controls the heaters) then just clamp the meter on the load side of each switch and record the readings. Each tank heater is rated for about 4 amps each. Mine has 2 pads on the fresh water tank connected in parallel and draws about 9 amps. The other tanks have one and draws about 4 amps each but isn`t enough hence my freeze up this past weekend. I guess they figure the small heater hose they run to the basement by the front tanks is enough to keep it from freezing with one tank heater pad each. Like I said before I`m sure they are trying to keep the inverter happy with all the other stuff that draws low voltage amps. I`ll bet your pads aren`t working or you don`t have any.
