Propane question
Was asked this in a campground, and while I think I have all the answers, I am not at all sure i am ever right. Fifth wheel with two propane cylinders, if running low, can someone hook up a small, like blue rhino bbq tank to one of the hoses to get through a night, and should it be hooked up like regular. Meaning leaving the switch to the large tank as usual, and letting it switch over if it runs out, using the small tank as a backup? Thanks5KViews0likes15CommentsRe: Holding tanks
Thanks for the responses. The labels at the pulls were wrong. Not sure why or how, but now I know so no problem. Not sure if it came like that or might have had some work done on it. And it does have two greys, but all the generic manuals and things online say one. I will be under it tomorrow, so maybe I will get some more surprises, but that's what's fun about this stuff, sometimes!! Haha562Views0likes0CommentsHolding tanks
Bought a used 2019 Keystone Avalanche 321RS. All company specs I have seen show it having 1 black and 1 grey tank. There are two grey Pulls and one black. The salesman and I did a fairly quick walkthrough, my 3rd rv, and he explained that there are 2 grey tanks, and the that was that. I am out today familiarizing myself with the trailer, flushing tanks and stuff, and it seems as though the bathroom sink is plumbed into the black tank, not sure about the shower yet, will be going back out to run some water through that too. Is anyone here familiar with that? Seems strange to me, but I can live with it. Just curious and all the places to call are of course closed for the weekend.

Not the brake controller. Disconnected that and everything still the same. And the fuse blows without the trailer being connected, so looks like I will be tracing the harness and connectors. And those connectors are how the maintenance folks stay in busibess, there us no rhyme or reason on the large ones with different entry points and different color wires on either side. Hopefully they can be hooked up without a master's and a 2000 dollar piece of equipment. Haha.552Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tow vehicle electrcal hookup
I believe I may have found the fuse related to the problems as it blows when I turn on the flashers. But it continues to blow probably meaning I have some wires touching somewhere. One odd occurrence is when the flashers are on the brake controller readout dances around. I am wondering if I have a short in the plug receptacle or possibly the brake controller553Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tow vehicle electrcal hookup
Talked with spartan and on my year moho the same fuses that operate coach lights operate trlr lights. Coach is working properly so it is wiring or a connector somewhere. The receptacle looks ok, but I think I will start with replacing it with a new one in case it has funked out. Doubt that is it but a quick and easy try. Then trace the harness as far as I can. When using a tester, should I hook the power lead to power and then to different contacts while those are turned on, brake, turnsignal, tail lights and so on?99Views0likes0CommentsTow vehicle electrcal hookup
I am having a problem with the trailer electrical plug on my 2006 mountain aire 4304. I thought it was a bad pigtail I used when hauling the jeep. Replaced the plug, couldn't get it to work properly, thought I was doing something wrong. But now I've hooked up our enclosed trailer and it won't work right either. I get trlr marker lights, and the brake controller seems to work fine, but no trlr tail lights, no turn signal or brake lights. I have found a fuse box at the rear of the coach, but the fuses are unmarked. Question is has anybody had the plug receptacle ever go bad on them. Doesn't seem like I can ever remember hearing anyone say one wore out or caused a problem. Wondering what I might try yo test it, it to find out how to figure this out. Any ideas are appreciated.
