Tank Heater? 2018 GT5 31L5

We bought a 2108 GT5 31L5 used from a dealer. It has a switch for a tank heater. Does anyone know which tanks it heats or how I can find out? Freshwater? Gray? Black? All 3?

The dealer didn’t know.

Thanks for any help!

Probably varies but on my 2015 it is the grey tank, black tank and waste elbows for both grey and black.

On my Rockwood Windjammer, it came from the factory with heat pads on the black tank, gray tank, fresh water tank, gray and black tank drain lines that are exposed beneath the underbelly, and three pads wrapped around the black and gray dump valves.

My 2018 31L5 has pads under all tanks. When switched on they only cycle when temp falls to 38 and cycle thermostatically. My only switch is on the One Touch.

Thanks for the info! I was able to find pads and wires for the gray and black tanks, but not for the fresh. Should I assume it has a heater?

Where is the switch?

Brand new 31R5 and I can't find a switch to turn on the heating pads. I know they are there but how to turn on. There is no place for the switch on my One Touch. Any suggestions?

On my One Touch I scroll the switches on the right hand side to get to it, below gas water heater. Hope this helps.

I also see it on the Monitor Panel on One Touch. As said above, scroll down on the right. It’s on the bottom.
