LT? Do you maybe mean LP? If so, the LP heater is the furnace. Uses propane (LP) for heat and 12v power for the fan.

Where did you see this? On a switch or in the breaker panel?

Typo. LP Heater. It is displayed on the Precision Panel inside the coach.

fdwarren - Take a picture and post it, please. We can help you a lot better, if we can see what you see.

Without seeing it, the LP on the control panel inside is likely to select propane for the water heater. There should also be one which is labeled electric near it.

The furnace (heats using LP) is usually controlled via the thermostat.

I think the OP has a Berkshire with an electronic control panel. I may move this thread to the Berk subforum to help.

You can call Precision Circuits and speak to George, but to answer your question it is the water heater. It sends 12v current to the Truma. Turn it on first, then go outside and turn on the water heater. Then go inside and turn the dial in the bath one click counter clockwis to get a yellow light. Enjoy!

LP Heater is the label for turning on power for the Girard hot water heater in my 38A.
