I have an 09 990. Can anyone tell me where to find the battery kill switch?

Also, when one propane tank runs out does it switch automatically to the other or does it need to be done manually?

Thanks

Hmmm. I don't think most campers come with a battery disconnect switch. Most I have seen, the owner has put it in himself.

Northwood typically puts them near the battery, that being said only one of my two had one.

When someone tells you to buy the same rig they own, listen, they might be right. When they tell you to buy a different rig then they own, really pay attention, they probably know something you don't.

Under the sink, right hand side. The transfer switch is also there (square box in the back. Also the brain for the electric jacks.

Yes, your propane will automatically switch over.

Your 09 AF should have a factory installed battery kill switch. Like others said it should be under the sink. On my 2010 it's attached to the front wall under the sink next to the electric jack controller.



The propane switches automatically. Point the lever at the first tank you want to use, when it changes over there is an indicator on the switch valve that turns red to let you know it is now drawing off the tank that the lever is NOT pointing at. That way you know the first tank is empty.

Yep, it's in the same location in the Wolf Creek campers too.
