New to me AF camper, couple questions
Picked up an 05 AF 860 a few weeks ago and gave 'er a good brake in run from Seattle to Anchorage!
Camper is great. Everything in it works awesome so far, but have a couple questions.
I read in the owners manual (online, didnt come with one) that there is a lock/strap for the slide out. Couldnt find one, PO said he never locked in the slider and it made the trip just fine over much less than perfect roads, read frost heaves. Does the slider have a lock on it?
Is there any sort of manual crank or way to release the slider to push it in by hand of the motor(s)******out?
Next question pertains to fridge operation. It works great, switches automatically between the 3 sources like it should, but what do you all do when the camper is sitting for weeks or months? Is it better to leave it plugged in and the fridge on? Or shut it down if it will be sitting for a while?
Any harm in either way? Are the rv fridges designed to operate for years on end like a home fridge?
What water goes into which tank? Black tank said it was 2/3 full after only using the crapper a handful of times and a little water through the kitchen sink. Used maybe 10 gal of water, at least half of it down the kitchen sink. I dumped the black tank and spaced the gray tank as we were in a hurry to get down the road. Do the sinks go into the black tank or gray tank?
Thanks for the help.
