G'day,



I am at Chuck Boyd's shop in Knoxville where we're doing some work on the Kingsley. I plugged it into shore power and noted that the
water heater came on. I checked the circuit breaker panel and there isn't a breaker labeled WATER HEATER. I can't seem to find a
switch to turn it off either.



This Kingsley has rear twins so the wiring is probably the same as an Edgemont.



Can anyone please advise where the switch is for the water heater?



Regards,

Rob M.

Rob,

Is this a model with the AC breaker panel behind a door across the hall from the bath module. If so, then the heater switch is a normal switch like you have on a wall except it is a double outlet with one being a switch and the other being a 120 volt plug. The converter is normally plugged into the plug.

The switch looks something like this:

Ken & Gene,

I remembered that there's a guy that keeps telling people to read the manual so I did and found what you guys noted. The rear twin
Kingsley has the C/B panel mounted behind a panel with a door above the forward end of the bed on the driver side. In the bathroom
is a switch above a power point and I'll bet dollars donuts that it's the water heater switch. I'm heading down to the Kingsley as
soon as I send this to power it up with that switch off and we'll find out.

Regards,
Rob M.

My water heater switch in my Palm Beach is the switch to the right of the CB panel. I always assumed that was stock.
