Extreme newbie questions

[wforst]

We have just brought our new XLR Nitro 28TQDL home yesterday and have a couple of questions.
1. Where do you put the tank hose when not using it?
2. Should the furnace work if plugged into the home power?
Thanks in advance.

The best place for a tank hose (after thoroughly rinsed) would be in a storage tube mounted somewhere under the TT. Some people just throw it into the back of the pickup in a plastic tote with holes drilled so it will dry out.

The furnace runs on propane plus 12v (battery) power for ignition & blower fan. So, when plugged in, the battery will stay charged to run the furnace.

I installed one of these under mine for my sewage hose. Sanitubes / Sewer Hose Carriers / NEW!! SUPER-SLIDER Adjustable SUPER-TUBE - DW Inc.

I used the exact same one and really like it.

We clean the tank hose and when it's dry, we take out one of the end cover in the rear bumber and store it in there for the winter!

The reason the furnace won't work is because the thermostat is flashing E1. I read through all the posts about it and tried all the different things to fix it with no luck. I guess it's to the dealer.

Here is explanation of Error E1. LCD Error Code
When the system determines that one of the faults listed below has occurred an error code will be displayed in the LCD.
Error Code:
E1 Loss of communication between the Single Zone LCD thermostat and the module board. LCD will cycle between E1 and the previous mode setting. System will shut down.

You might check wiring on thermostat and on furnace control board. You may have a loose wire.

Thanks Flybob, I took everything apart after reading prior posts about the E1 error. Everything seems connected securely. The funny thing is that it was working at the dealer when we did our walk around on Saturday.

Try Pulling 12V fuse for furnace. Wait a min and reinstall, Might reset board. Worth a try.

How many thermostats do you have. You may be using the wrong one for heat.

Only 1 Homebrew.

UPDATE: apparently the wires for the thermostat run to where the furnace filter is in the ceiling and I found a broken wire there. It looks like they crimped it to hard. It works now. Thanks for all the input.

Ditto on the super slinky. It is nice keeping it out side...
