Learned another lesson - fresh water fill switch

February 10, 2015, 06:42:37 pm

Today I found out that if your fill fresh water switch in the bay goes out, you will not have any water pressure till you turn off the fill switch in the galley.

John, another trick to this IF like our 2001.  I have two bay switches, fill tank and operate pump (water).  Perhaps they may not have thought to mention, but I should not have both switches "on" at the same time.  I can use the pump or fill the tank, but not simultaneously.

Call and talk as you need, will try.  Wish had still been around after delivery.  How you doing on the driving?  Carol S gave me a good tip on that one day, you are riding on the tire, so just put yourself in the highway tire wear track. I finally have learned to stay close to the center stripe and the passenger side will be ok, I could not watch (monitor) both sides.

Another idea, there are some fairly good on-line Motorhome driving tips and instructions.  Give those a search, try.

I'm learning something different everyday that's for sure, but plenty of help around here. I will take the driving tip. So far so good on that front. I only put the coffee pot on the floor one time😃

Ha, no it was empty. No harm no foul, tried to stop from a yellow light to a red in downtown Poplar Bluff.
I probably wasn't very clear but exactly like you said on the fill h2o switch. What happened was that after filling my fresh water tank the switch wouldn't turn off. I didn't know that it has to be off for the circulating pump to do any good. Mike at MOT told me about the other switch under the galley sink. After I turned it off I then had water pressure at my faucets. MOT is sending me another switch to replace with.

Heh. Ran into something similar but without the failed switch.  Always something new to learn! :-)

Wife was driving the other day and did the same thing stopping (on reflex) on a light that turned yellow. Bowl of fruit had been placed on the J lounge instead of really stowed for road and apples went rolling EVERYWHERE!  Best part was our son consoling the very freaked out cat: "I'm sorry the apples attacked you Gigi" :-)
