LP Propane switch in 5th wheel

Having a brain drain. When I step up into my RV I have a panel with 4 switches, one says LP Propane. Next switch says Electric and underneath those two says water heater and between them it says FTI-DTL.

To late to call Keystone tonight just wondered if you all knew.

I would assume to force it between gas or electric on water heater only if switch was on or lit.

    I was thinking the same thing.


    Suburban.....light should come on initially when LP switch is turned ON for approx 15 seconds during the light off procedure. Light goes out when flame is proven. Otherwise light would stay on if flame fails to light/prove. System 'locks out' until reset (turn switch off wait 10 seconds back on)

    Atwood......light should come on IF propane fails to light/prove OR IF ECO OPENS either on electric or propane. System 'locks out' until reset (same switch off/on)

    Cant post a pic but if I don't here anything on the FTI-DTL I will call tomorrow. raining like a cow on a flat rock...cant do outside but expect it to be a dometic.

    Thanks OLD Biscuit,


    Found a Keystone Document that needs 'Microsoft Office' to open.
    Something about rooming list template????

    As to brand/model......either Suburban or Atwood
    Visually different Water Heaters.
    Suburban uses anode rod and combustion chamber/exhaust stack one above other
    Atwood doesn't use an anode rod and combustion chamber/exhaust diagonal

    Thanks OLD Biscuit,
  • What brand/model water heater?

    LP Propane switch turns water heater propane firing ON/OFF
    Electric switch turns water heater electric element ON/OFF

    Either system can be turned on/off independently OR both at same time

    Post a pic of switch panel?
