Propane tank on Isata touring Sedan
I have recently purchased a "one previous owner" 2006 Dynamax Isata touring Sedan 250SL. We previously owned a 1998 Fourwinds Majestic class C and a 2004 Fourwinds Cheateau class C. Both of the previous RVs had the propane tank located on driver's side with a gauge available to view.
I learned when searching for a gauge on this Isata, that the propane tank is located under the middle of Cabin, with the fill-up valve available at the edge of the driver's side of the RV behind a door that has to be pulled very hard to get it off. The gauge and cut-off valve are on the tank, which means one needs to crawl under the RV to see the gauge or shut off the tank. There is a "rocker" type of switch next to the fill-up valve. Does anyone know what it is for? and why there isn't a gauge easy to view?
Also, my refrigerator is working well on electric hookup, but while driving this latest trip, the refrigerator was not working on gas setting, had to use a ice chest to keep food cold. Also, I could not get the water heater to work, but have used it on the past trips. This is why I was trying to find the tank to check its gauge which showed about 1/2 full. But I am suspecting the tank is not full enough for use. I have always checked the gauge on the tank of the past RVs as well as the monitor inside...don't rely fully on the monitor. Appreciate any advise. Thanks
