IF you still have the Newmar. Newmar back then used the Furnace as a heat vehicle for the Water Bay/Tank compartment. They used a extra 12 volt fan connected to the furnace duct to blow hot air to the Water bay. I have never seen a Newmar(motorized and not a King or London Aire)(1993 to 2009) use any Heated Pads for the water tank system. Are you positive they were not added after market? If you think you have them, where is the wall switch to activate those heaters? Doug
This is true, normally the basement heater will take care of the tanks. but when you don't run the furness, you plug in and turn on the pads.
and no, they are not an after market, they came as an option when the coach was bought.
Yes we have a wall switch in the bathroom to turn them on or off. it has a red glow light when they are on. I check them now and then.
I've never used them, we are normally not on the road in extreme cold weather, and when it is really cold we are home and the tanks are empty and pink added, and the water system is blown out.
