New camper owner - help with few issues?!
We have a 20 foot travel trailer. Thor Prism 2000.
But we have a few issues and we have zero experience and need your help solving:
1. We were told heater works great. But when we turn it on it just blows regular air. No heat. I hear it click like pilot is lighting. Manual says it has auto lighting pilot. Gas is on. Not sure where I even look to find out if pilot is lit or what to fix. WE are not very handy.
2. We use the bathroom 1-2 times a month. Are there chemicals we should add to help smells? We can only empty the camper once every six months. IS THAT GOING TO BE OKAY WITH SUCH LIGHT USE? WHAT CHEMICALS HELP?
3. So we filled fresh water tank. All was fine. Then we turned on water pump. Immediately we had drips on the outside. Some were near where we put the water into fresh tank using jugs. It drips slowly from the bottom seal outside where sink would be inside. Went inside and there are no wet spots under sink or in any cupboards. I'm worried maybe water is gathering under floor or in wall. No idea ready though how that woke system works?.
Also back by grey and black water emptying valves are two tubes sticking straight down. They have screw on caps. They are screwed on tight. But water is dripping off those too. Both leaks happen only when water pump is on and for a short time street we turn it off.
Help. No idea what is going on there but want to solve it so we can continue using plumbing.
P.s. We can not take it to a repair shop. Its setup permanently in mountains.
