TT Appliances-operating ?/verification on use
Ok. new to me sierra cobra TT. Propane and AC fridge ( norcold) and water heater Suburban I think. NO paperwork from PO.
From reading here I think I have an idea on operation:
Fridge: A/C runs on shore power, move to propane, auto lights a pilot light? seems from reading I dont need to do anything but ensure I have propane and its open. Done, I hear may take a while to cool down. 24hr. Does that seem right ( from my reading other posts and looking at FAQ)
Now the water heater a little trickier, light the pilot get hot water ok I get that but! what determines if it heats or not? say I Dont have water in it ( and if its electric too, I have to check) is there a temp sensor for in to go on and off. Afraid of burning it up if I dont get the new anode rod and keep in bypass for soon to happen boondock trip. I may not use not water but will have a genny and dont want to burn up hot water tank. Or are they propane only. many people mention a switch to turn on and off. I dont see on on this anywhere? how to check if A/C water tank or just propane. need a little more on the water tank part.
also will fridge have any issues with air in the line??
Thank you.
