Q: I have a 93 unihome 40 foot, with a Detroit 350 hp 92 series engine. There are 2 switches at the end of the bed, one says block heater, the other says water heater, is this to use engine heat to heat the house water, there is also a switch on the dash for aux. pump.Do both of these need to be on ?
A: The block heater switch is for engine pre-heat in the winter for easier cold starts. The water heater switch is the 120VAC heating element for domestic hot water. The auxiliary pump switch on the dash is to flow more engine anti-freeze to the dash heater core during winter operation.
Q: How can the driver side seat work perfectly but the passenger side seat has no functions at all? We have a 40 2006 nimbus quad slide.
A: The driver and passenger seat are on separate breakers (12VDC) located passenger side dash area. Check for voltage at breaker #48 on the panel. If breaker has no voltage on the load side then you have a short from seat to the breaker. The seat could be unplugged also.
Q: The level system light in my dash panel is on, and my coach will not go into gear.
A: If the shift indicator panel flashes when the selector button is depressed, this is an indication that there is a problem with one of the slide rooms. Either a safety switch has not been satisfied or the room retract button was not held long enough. Foretravel recommends to turn the room key(s) on & follow the proper room extend/retract procedures, extending all rooms one at a time completely until the red light on the room panel for each room goes off. Retract all rooms one at a time, holding the retract switch until the red lights go out. (If the red lights do not go out within 10 seconds of a room being fully retracted, contact Foretravel Technical Services for further instructions). Turn off the room keys and restart coach to see if level system light is off.
