Title: Where are the holding tank monitors on a U320?
Post by: ViewRVs on March 28, 2017, 11:17:39 pm
We just got a hold of our 1996 U320 yesterday. The purchase is a long campfire story for another day.

My first question is this: Where is the panel to monitor the white, gray, and black water tanks? 

Argh!  My wife and I have searched the coach up and down and can't find it.  I even pulled out the owner's manual and did not see it after a quick search.

Second, where is the LP tank monitor? I am assuming it is with the holding tank gauges.

THANKS IN ADVANCE?

The backup camera left switch pushed in at the top should show the tanks. Right switch tuned on also

As Bob said it is on the back up screen when turned on. You flip the Monitor switch on( on dash) then use the select button on the monitor.

THANKS! I checked it on Wednesday and the monitor was all skewed. I checked it today and it worked fine. Whew! I was very concerned about the replacement of the

This coach has been warehoused for roughly 5 years with just some periodic service. We have given it some serious exercise over the last 5 days.

There should also be an analog LP gauge on the propane tank itself - recommend checking it occasionally so you can get a feel for the difference between how full your monitor says the tank is, and how full the tank gauge says it is.

If you are old enough to remember the old tv B&W days and the hirizontal hold-vertical control-bright-contrast knobs it may come in handy. My images on the Javelina monitor were distorted and unreadable. Raised the dash, pulled the aluminum cover off the CRT base and saw the adjustment knobs down on the board. A non conductive screw driver and a few adjustments and the images are sharp and clear. Just a thought.
