Our Generator after a couple of weeks after using the Rv, starts making a clicking sound like its priming and we have to hit the Gen switch off and on to stop it, only we arent here all the time to do it. When it starts doing that, it does it each day.

I Cannot get the winterizing port to pull the antifreeze up into the system. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hello Royce,
Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:
I would first check to make sure all valves are in the correct position. You then want to make sure the water lines are not pressurized. Open a faucet and relieve any pressure. You then turn the water pump on and it should start to siphon the antifreeze into the system. If the pump just “hums” then there are valves in the wrong position or there is an issue with the pump.

The antifreeze is not flowing to hot water lines, it was going out the water heater, I closed the valve now not water pump is not pulling antifreeze at all,
Hi Andrew. I would check the valves on the back of the water heater again. It sounds like the pump isn’t turning on because the lines are pressurized. It sounds like there is another valve that needs to be opened for the antifreeze to go to the hot lines. There are many different configurations for the bypass valves and they can have one, two or even three valves that need turned on the back of the tank. If by closing one stopped the flow into the tank but then stops the water pressure, most likely there is another valve near the top that needs turned on to allow the antifreeze to flow to the hot lines. I would check the inlet at the top of the tank and look for another valve that needs turned. If you have three valves, the top and bottom need to be closed while the middle valve needs to be opened.

Where is my fresh water release valve?
Hi Manuel. I don’t have access to plumbing diagrams for your unit but the valve should be directly below the tank itself. Most of the time it is sticking out from the underbelly near one side or the other. There are some units that put the drain valve in the wetbay with the rest of the water connections and valves but most of the time the drain is just below the tank or attached to the side of the tank.

how to find srriker in furnace on 1987 travelire rv
Hi Joe. You would have to check around the combustion chamber to find where the igniter is located. The gas valve will have a line to the chamber in the same area so by tracing these you can locate where it should be. It will be attached to the side and sealed so you will have to remove it to check the igniter and burner assembly. There is typically an orange or red wire going to it as well.

Have a great day!
If I leave the unit plugged in over a cold winter season and the right is in a non heated garage, do I have to do further winterizing? Is these a recommended setting (eg 40 degrees f) where the heat pump in the rig will maintain all the systems without further winterizing? Thanks, Bill

Ticket 35327 I cant find the fresh water tank drain plug?
Hello Patrick,
Thank you for contacting us. Here is the experts response:
They usually don’t use plugs, typically it is a valve that needs opened. These are in different locations on all RV’s. Typically they are just below the tank or the opposite end of where the fill is. The drains can be put anywhere though. If your tank is visible from the inside like under the bed it is possible the drain is directly attached to the tank on the side and then just drains underneath. If you see just an open drain line under the RV this usually means there is a valve inside that needs opened. There are different types as well but if you know where the water pump is or the fill for the fresh tank check in these areas as these are usually near the tank
