Yeah isn't it though? It's new this year, up until I traded my TV for a new one and wanted to update my sig pic, you could actually see my rig

I have read that the servers are having trouble with newer sig pics - it meets all the size criteria...

EDIT: HEY I GOT IT TO WORK - just uploaded it again at this time it took - sorry no red X to admire anymore... I thought it was the server, but this time it worked.

Uh, I hate to correct you, but shouldn't the calculation be 1.21 gigawatts?


That was the old models. The new ones don't require as much power.

Well he says he can't notice anything happening when he switches it on so I doubt it's the water pump. If his water pump sounds anything like ours.

Nah, it turns on the pump that supplies the blinker fluid to the turn signals.

See if there is a outlet up by the top of your awning. A friend of mine has a switch like that and it control a outlet up ther for awning lights. Her camper is a crossroads

We do have a DSI water heater but the switch for that is on the control panel.

I turned that switch on tonight with a fan running in the camper and the fans output dropped a little so it turned something on. I'm pretty sure we had the switch off this whole time. Thankfully when the previous owner winterized it, he filled the water heater with anti-freeze. I guess at worst I might have cooked the anti-freeze. I guess we'll see this week when I de-winterize it. I'll fill the tank with water this week and see if it heats it up. Thanks for all your help and if you have any more advice keep it coming.


I hope you didn't cook the anti-freeze as it leaves an awful taste in the water system that takes a bit of work to get out. I bought a used camper a few years ago & did just that. I can't tell you how many bleach/water flushes it took to finally get the system get back to normal but it was quite a few.

Putting antifreeze in the hot water tank AT ALL leaves a bad taste in the water for a long time.

You need to bypass the hot water tank when winterizing.

Weird. My first guess would be a exterior outlet, step light or dump valve light.

Good luck!
