I can say more on this but ...

I add bleach by disconnecting and draining the hose from the coach. Then fill the hose with bleach, hook it up and presto the bleach is soon in the tank or the system depending upon which way the valve is turned.

When hooked up to city water AND fill valve is in "fill" position check the water at a faucet. Mine only dribbles.

Now before changing anything turn on water pump. Mine won't stop running as long as valve is filling.

I had my softener in a bay in the Bounder. I hope to still find a way I can do that in wet bay but if not then hopefully in Aquahot bay.

All the pump is doing is drawing from the tank and circulating the water back into the take through the valve. Have checked SOB and they are do the same thing.

Thanks akcretired. I'll check there and see if I can locate the info. If not, I'll let you know.

Gordon: by adding bleach to your system thru the hose, you're also running the bleach thru the water filter. The recommended way is to remove the filter from the canister, add the bleach in the canister and reinstall, then run water to the area you want, fresh water tank or couch system as normal.

My system sends the water directly to the water tank when on tank fill. The filter is when the valve is set to house or the pump is running.

Our 2012 Tour water system works just like Gordon's.

OK, On our 12 Journey, ALL water goes thru the filter first, no matter if it's going to the faucet or the tank.

Is it an aftermarket filter installation?

Filtering the water before you put the junk in the tank makes a lot of sense.

I pre-filter the water that goes in our tank but it is aftermarket.

Gordon; No it's not after market it's the way it was plumbed from Winnebago, so I sort of figured your Tour would be plumbed the same way.

We have the 2015 Tour 42HD and love the floor plan as well. We are having problems with our drivers side rear slide. Seems to be binding in places as it extends and retracts. Taking to dealer next week for a fix.

As for your captains seats. Check your connections under the seat. We had the same problem and noticed some lose connections. Tightened things and no problem since.

The cabinet left lower of the sink is for the leaf to the dinning table. We have also put a small foldable step stool for the misses to reach things in the top cabinets.

If your looking for a nice place to store TV trays. Look behind your couch. TV trays fit nicely back there.

More questions in the 2015 42HD...
1, anyone know the manufacturer's intended purpose of the small shelves in the Lounge area, to the right of the TV? We currently have DVD's, games, some food items there, but it seems to me that the space could be used better... if it were intended for spices, why so few shelves? if it were for dvd's, why such low barriers? There must have been a plan here... any one from Winni able to answer?
2, I have noticed that when switching from landline or generator to engine battery power, I must manually press the button in side to turn on the inverter, otherwise there is no power to the refrig. have I missed something?
3, Are there any instruction manuals to explain in layman's terms how to use the gen auto set feature?
Thanks!

Have to agree.

tb919 · 02-21-2017, 09:03 PM

I don't know bartts about those shelves but whatever you do DON'T put books there. See previous comments about the book eating slide. :-) I'm not sure they aren't just decorative or a place to put knick knacks and such. I keep the remotes for the TV there at the end. Seems a good place to always find them.
Would like to know if there's another spot to turn the inverter on too but I don't think so. It does sort of switch over to inverter though if you've been on shore power while traveling for a bit. Mine did and I don't know how that worked but you do need to have it for the frig.
Layman's terms for most of this stuff is always appreciated because there's so much to know and learn it's tough to go through all the manuals. We just keep plugging away at it and mostly learn by trial and error but that has to stop now since the year "grace" period is coming to an end!
I found the info for locking the dishwasher drawer but it didn't work so I'll just keep on doing what I've been doing. Pressing the lock button until it long beeps and then just remember to lock it before going off full power or the gennie. Akcretired, let me know what you do.
