Per my signature line, I bave a 2000 Itasca Horizon, DP, Freightliner chassis, 36 feet in length. It is equipped with the optional 10 gallon DSI water heater. Here is the mystery. My water is hot and I don't know how it's being heated. I have found, to date, two switches in the coach which control the water heater. One in the laundry area labelled "water heater" which I assume is the electric heater, and a second on the power panel which controls the gas part of the heater. It has a green light and a red light and the off/on switch.
With both the electric heater switch and the gas heater switch "OFF", I still have hot water! Am I missing a switch somewhere? I can run enough "tests" to learn if it is being heated electrically, or by the gas, or maybe even the engine, but thought I might be overlooking yet another switch somewhere According to the manual, the motoraid option is not offered with the Freighliner diesel chassis. However, I have driven the coach for 3 days in a row and always have hot water with all switches off.
Anyone out there with a similar experience?
