If anyone can help, we would appreciate any answers you may have.
1/ Below the TV in the drivers area there is a map light........where the heck is the switch?:h
2/ On the floor we have several heating grills......I haven't found the heater yet!!
3/ I see that the Brave is pre-wired for a CB, how many people out there use one?
4/ oooh edit the post.......I see a lot of you record the states you have visited...how do you do it, where do i get one?
Thanks
Terry
The light below the TV is operated by the dash light dimmer switch. When the dash lights are on full bright the switch can be rotated another couple degrees. You should feel and hear it click to turn on the overhead light.
The registers on the floor are for both the propane furnace and the Motoraid heater. The Motoraid system has both a coil wrapped around the water heater to provide hot water while traveling and a heater core below the floor to the right of the forward most register to supply heat to the interior of the coach while the engine is running. One of the switches below and to the left of the radio should be labeled "Coach Heat" or something similar. This switch controls a 2 speed fan that blows air across the below floor heater core.
It's possible the fan for the heater core doesn't work. A common problem with this system was that the fan blade would move on the shaft and eventually interfere with the heater case. When that happened the fan motor would draw too much current and blow the fuse.
Here's a link to the online operators manual:

Operation of both the light and the "Rear Coach Heat" are explained in section 2
The only time we ever used the CB in our 2001 Adventurer was when we went on a WIT caravan. It was required to keep in touch with the host and tail ender, as well as used each travel day when leaving the campgrounds. We haven't gone on any WIT caravans in our 2013 Adventurer so the CB sits disconnected in one of the dinette storage compartments
