Need Owner's Manual for Fleetwood TT

Okay. Thanks. That's all good advice, I'm sure. Specifically, we were wondering:

- How to light the water heater. What Brand/Model of WH?
If it has gas valve like on home water heater push button down turn to pilot position and light pilot flame....hold for 30 secs then release button and turn to ON. Adjust temp setting (MED)

OR turn switch inside to ON if it has spark ignitor

Brand/Model S/B on label in outside compartment

- When the TT is hooked to the tow vehicle, Are the batteries then in parallel and being charged by the truck? IF you have a 7 pin receptacle/cord (tow vehicle to trailer) then you have a charge circuit (typically center pin) that will allow tow vehicle alternator to help maintain TT battery while in transit. Due to small size and length of charge wire it will NOT recharge a low TT battery


May need large fuse/relay installed in tow vehicle fuse panel for charge circuit to be HOT

- should I disconnect the TT electrically from the truck when camping? Depends on which brand of tow vehicle you have.
Ford isolates the charge circuit so when ignition switch is off line is not powered hence no draining of truck battery while using TT.
RAM doesn't so I unplug after parking
Don't think GMC does either.

When in doubt..unplug

- Is there a converter or inverter in the trailer? Converter.....usually with AC Power Panel where AC circuit breakers are (Main and individuals)
DC Dist Section with Fuses (converter) Takes AC power input and then 'converts' it to DC output. S/B 13.2V DC at minimum. Lower and converter is not functioning properly.

Inverter is connected to TT battery
DC input and 'inverts' it to AC output.
