Battery power

Disconnected my shore power and nothing worked. Batteries read 12.5 vdc. Seems good enough to run lights and such. Does it need to be 13.8 vdc? If not, is there a particular fuse I need to check?...

Water pump is working but pressure is pretty low (to me, at least). Should it be capable of providing good shower pressure and not just a dribble? If so, then I will check hoses. If they are fine,...

Thanks for this. I've not been under the unit for the purpose of verifying exposed pipes. It does have the Arctic pkg, so insulation for the underside should be good. I'll def heat tape any...

All good points. Always good to hear the voice of experience. These units have not been adapted to travel (yet), and that would likely create some major issues. No doubt some shock absorption &...

Covering copper lines on exterior

I do not know my RV well enough to know if it could be done inside the wall, but that would not be my preference, anyway. I would likely run the lines to the exterior and protect the heck out of...

2nd gray water tank valve location?

My 2008 3400RL has black and gray water tank valves at the primary water control panel, but there is a 2nd gray water tank (somewhere) and I have not been able to find the valve. Any hints?
