Heated tanks?
Hi again folks, so My Class A has "heated waste tanks" as labeled on the waste tank compartment door. I'm trying to figure out how this works. there's no on\off switch that I can find anywhere . ...

SOME RVs call their system "heated tanks" when there is actualy a furnace vent into the belly to prevent freeze ups and these work just fine but can prevent use of too much electric heat since there is no furnace running much of the time thus no heated tank.
IF your tanks are electrically heated they more than likely have an automatic feature that turns them on when temps ready about 38 degrees and turns them off when above that temperature. They often ALSO have a 12 volt heater that DOES have a switch and this allows heating the tanks while towing in cold weather but this is available only if ordered that way. Using both systems at once usually prevents freeze ups down to well below zero but keeping the house warm would also be necessary to prevent freeze ups in internal water lines.
Good luck / Skip
