Reading through the literature, we've found that our heater is a propane heater, not electric. Interesting that they should do this in a 5th wheel that has the arctic package. But anyway...when we were setting up our 5th wheel, it was discovered that there is a problem with the propane auto-crossover and the regulator. The red pop-up indicator that reveals the cylinder is empty was showing, and after I filled the tank, it didn't change. So, I s'pose we'll get a couple of electric space heaters and tackle the propane system tomorrow.
Rv furnaces are propane because they are 'self contained'....don't need AC power to function. Electric heat would require AC power at all times otherwise....no heat.
Artic Package can mean most anything......increased insulation values, enclosed underbelly, heated waste tanks via a furnace duct into space, heater pads (maybe) etc.
The propane auto change over regulator...
If you have both tanks valved in service the first tank valved in will be the one used until empty then regulator will swap to the other valved in tank.
The Red/Green indicator is just that..an indicator.
The lever doesn't do anything but changes ports so pressure can move the RED/GREEN Indicator
Turn the lever to point to first in service tank (GREEN shows). When that take goes empty the indicator turns from GREEN to RED. You then swap lever over so it points to other tank and RED turns to GREEN.
Then (this is IMPORTANT) get the empty tank filled :B
