Hello all. New to this forum. Recently purchased the above Newmar. Its has the 8.3 cummings. Reviewed the manual and cannot figure out what all the dash warning signals are. Can someone help me? I know the basic ones but their are a couple I have no idea what they mean and are not in the owners manual.

thanks,
rick

I will be interested what is posted in response since I cannot find much in the way of how errors are reported. My Cummins manual shows error indications displayed via an error light and switches that the OP flips to display errors. Our MH's dont have that, so I want to know how we are notified.

I did get a buzzer warning of something one day... it was a series of beeps. I think it was beep, beep, beep, pause beep, beep, beep pause... sounded like it was trying to tell me something. I could find no other indication of a problem by looking at the gauges and lights. I finally just turned off the ignition and turned it back on and havent heard it again (???).

I asked Cummins, and I think Spartan and both said that they dont use buzzers and didnt know what the buzzer warning was for (???).

So, I hope we get some good information about warning indicators.

When I bought my 2000 Dutch Star (Spartan/Cummins) I didn't understand all the lights either. I called Spartan and they sent me a sheet listing all the lights and what they mean. That was about 10 years ago, but I'm sure they still have the same sheet. When I sold that motorhome I let the sheet go with it for the new owner so I don't have it any more. Give Spartan a call.
