Water heater

Ok, this is a dumb question, but I need to know how to operate the water heater in my wolf pup 18TO. We are on our first journey and can't remember the walk thru info. Also, the tank monitoring system on the wall behind the stove top....there is a heater and pump toggle button. What do I do with this? Can't find any info in the instructions ...sorry, first trailer ever! Thx!

Find the model of the water heater and then look in the library (link on top bar) and go to plumbing section and the manuals are there.

The heater switch on the panel is for the tank heaters. They're used when camping in the winter to keep the tanks from freezing.

The pump switch is to run the onboard water pump when you're not hooked to city water. It draws water from the onboard fresh water tank. It has to be filled before the pump will work.

If your panel is similar to this, the switch on the bottom left is to the DSI/propane part of your water heater. The DSI fault light is the little red lamp to the right. It's explained in the link above.

Forgot about the water heater switch in some panels. Good catch WM. I bet that's what that switch is for.
