We have a 1996 Seabreeze 5th Wheel. We are looking to turn on the pilot light but not sure where it is located. Any ideas? Or a link where we can search for information? Thank you!

1. The ONLY appliance from a 1996 time that has a Pilot light is the Oven/Range.
2. Back then and now, the OVEN has a Pilot
3. Back then and NOT now, the range had a Pilot light.. This pilot light has a On/Off valve where the Copper feed line mounts to the Range. You have to remove the range burners to access this valve.
4. The Other appliance that "may" have a Pilot light is the water heater.
5. I doubt there is a LP electronic shut off valve. Towables just did not utilize the Electronic Safety LP valve systems. Doug

you pssibly have what is called a 'tell tail' ?
it is the automatic LP cut off controller
it will be in the kitchen area near the floor
has a little on/off switch a light/led and a beeper
make sure it is off
then go outside and close the LP tank main valve aka LP OFF
go back inside turn the tel tell on, it should beep at you
go outside and 'SLOWLY' open the lp tank main valve
in a couple of minutes the tel ell should blink green
when it does you have LP to the appliances
and they should work when you turn their switches on
it could take a few seconds for the 'air' to bleed out of the lines and the LP to get to the appliance burner, the applince to start
fridge and water have a switch to turn them on
cook stove probably has a push button striker for the burners
pilot for the oven
I can explain it to you.
But I Can Not understand it for you !

Our 1991 rig has only one pilot light and that is for the oven. Same thing with the 2003 5er we had. Instructions for lighting it and the oven to be found in the range's pamphlet.

BTW, there is a Tech support section that would be the proper place to repost your question, and the folks there are very helpful (usually).

Most RV gas appliances I have seen do not use pilot lights, but have either automatic or manual spark lighters. Of course, Your rig is a bit older than ours, so it might actually have a pilot. Hopefully, someone here will know more than I do about the older ones. And as you are new, please forgive or ignore some of the smart-a answers. But we do need to know what device you are talking about.
