3445 maiden voyage - a few questions

[BrokenElbow]

We're on our maiden voyage in the new Monty. I have a few questions:

1. Is there a trick to getting the wall lights behind the master bed working? Neither work now. Am I missing a switch somewhere? The toggle on the lights does nothing. Does this need to go on our fix list for the dealer?
2. The kitchen slide is missaligned slightly. About 1" still showing when closed. I'll add this to the fix list.
3. Why are there two cable outlets on the same plate labled "Satalite" for the living room TV? Is one for cable and the other for Satalite. Which is which?
4. There is a large white switch on the control panel on the wall on the stairway to the bedroom. What does it do? It doesn't seem to control anyting I can see.

The trip is going great so far, we love the 3455 and even though this is our 1st 5er, the TrailerSaver BD3 air hitch with the MorRyde pin box seems to us to be a great combination. I can't imaging a smoother ride.

Thanks for any input.

Welcome to the forum.

1. Check the breakers (110v). If that's not it be sure they put bulbs in the fixtures. If it's neither of those, put it on the fix list.
4. The large white switch is for the ceiling fan. turn it on and they pull the pull chains for the fan and/or the light and see if that works.

Good luck with your new Montana. Have many happy and safge trips.

Unless I am mistaken, the lights above the bed are 12V. You need to check the fuses instead of breakers. Those lights have been known to have some wiring issues (ground usually). Remove and replace the bulbs and check the wiring connections at the fixture.
Bingo

Ditto on your question of the two jacks on the TV plate. (New Mountaineer 326RLT)
It came with a loop back, short coax that connected both. I am using one, closest to the front, as the feed from the satellitte to my DirectTV receiver. That works fine.
My guess it the other one feeds the bedroom coax jack.

If you have a multimeter, you can get a lot of info on those bedroom lights. I agree, they are 12v circuits. My fuse box has a red LED light over a bad fuse. That big white rocker switch controls my fan and fan light group as has been said.

On your slide, is the 1" all the way around or just one edge? Can't answer about the satellite/cable stuff.

Aren't tose lights on an individual switch on each light?

That got it...bad 15amp fuse. That fuse also knocked out the basement 12v lights and basement 12v socket for the bedroom TV. All better now....thanks folks.

It's just on the back side. The front side seems to go in all the way. The slide just seems canted at a very slight angle and the back doesn't go all the way in. Actually, after I found the bad fuse (thanks to help), there are only three things on the dealer fix it list. The blue water drain in the outside control panel doesn't close all the way, the black water flush is not working and the slide is out of adjustment. All else is good so far.
