Just returned from storage and noticed the Aquahot was reading LO on the inside display. It is switched on electric and I am wondering what I should look for when checking? Only have 30 amp service.

Thanks,

Does anyone have any idea where the fuse for the hose reel might be located? And also but less important, does anyone have any idea what circuit might require the 7.5 amp fuse?

Any input appreciated!

The reason for this post and other owners to watch is the condition of the ice maker coils. This unit pulls in air on the left side of the grill and the hot air exhausts on the right side.

The problem was the coils were COMPLETELY clogged!! They didn't appear to have been cleaned since the coach was built in 1991. There was no filter and you have to lay on the floor to be able to see the coils after you remove the small grill.

After removing unit, cleaning of the fins and a new water line, it works well.

Even if you don't have this particular unit, ensure your ice maker's coils are cleaned or filtered!

Good luck and miles,

Picture #1- I’ve labeled the two sources that can flow to the sewer system (or ground).
Picture #2 - The Main Dump Valve (usually air activated).

Dumping the waste holding tank utilizing left side plumbing bay:

Remove coach sewer pipe cap, attach sewer hose (slinky) to the connector next to the Main Dump Valve.

Manually open the waste tank valve (in pic #1 the valve appears to already be open).

Activate Main Dump Valve to drain waste holding tank.

To rinse tank hook water hose to tank flush spicket in aft area of Aqua-Hot bay. Rinse until solids have moved through sewer pipe.

Allow tank to thoroughly drain before closing valves.

Run RV Antifreeze in sinks to allow antifreeze to enter holding tank via grey water pipe system.  Flush toilets to allow antifreeze to enter waste area of holding tank.

If I understand the system this will also winterize the holding tank.

Went to take a shower that night and hot water side is barley coming more like a dribble.

The other faucets in the coach are fine .

Are there not tubes sticking in the tank from the top?
wonder where the plug could be and how best to fix it.
Shot compressed air back through the shower fixture with the knob in the hot position, had the hot side of the bath faucet on as well to let out any pressure so as not to blow the tank. Did not work.
Tried some vinegar down the shower hose and let it set overnight but valve was not open so maybe need to have valve open but would have to have no water pressure and it may get into the hot water tank. ????

Any plumbers out there?]]> Was nothing on the anode, plenty of stuff on the bottom which I vacuumed out.

How to winterize your coach

Turn water pumps off. Drain your fresh water tank and holding tank. Get 15 to 20 gals of RV antifreeze, get hose & a funnel and put in fresh water tank. Unhook the ¼” line for ice maker in your plumbing bay. Cap line off. If you do not have a spicket on your galley then you need to turn off your filtered water on your panel. Remove #1 and #2 water filters. If you have a spicket turn pumps back on, run water in all your sinks until you see pink color. Turn faucets off. Flush your toilet until you see pink antifreeze. If you have washer and dryer, run until you have pink antifreeze in tub then spin tub out. Your Aqua-hot will have antifreeze run through when running all the inside faucets, shower and stools. Turn water pump off and leave until you get ready to use coach again, then you drain tank. Fill with water. Run all faucets, shower and toilets and washer/dryer until water is clean. Drain tank and refill with fresh water. Reconnect ice maker line and install new water filters.
