I just purchased a 2004 2516G and I have two questions as I check things out before going out with it.
1. Does anyone know where the water filter is hidden? All the specs I can find for this model indicate there is a canister style water filter, but I haven't found it yet. Is it hidden behind a panel that I need to remove?
2. The mfg info sheet that was in the buyer's original documents indicate there is a safety switch that cuts off the 12v supply internally when the camper top is down. Does anyone know where this switch is located? I have strong reason to believe that mine is no longer working (or is not adjusted correctly to trip when the top is down).
I'm interested in the answer to #1 myself. As for #2, Isn't' there a dead-man switch between the top & bottom of the galley? In other words, if the galley is raised, and sitting in the deployed position, it should be depressed and 12V should be working.
For #1 - Check underneath your couch across from your galley. Ours is a 2011 2516G and is all the way to the right under the couch.
As for #2 our dead-man's switch is mounted on the top of the lower box of the galley. We also have a rocker switch near the converter that can turn the 12v lights on/off.
What makes you think your dead-man's switch isn't working? The reason I ask is that the CO and/or the propane leak detectors run all the time and can drain a 12v battery over the course of a month or so.
Thanks for your reply. I discovered this weekend that the PO had removed the filter and replaced it with a straight section of pipe (I'm guessing freeze damage to the original filter because I also found part of the original housing under there as well!).
For the kill switch, I have a light fixture with partially melted lenses and so I'm sure they overheated in a closed position (plus I tested the switch this weekend and the lights still turn on with the galley lowered and the switch pressed). I'll be heading to radio shack for a new switch!
