Block heater switch on 2018 Mountain Aire?

Where is it? We will be leaving Montana tomorrow and the morning temps have been in the mid-20s, so would like to use the block heater.

I have checked the outlet in the engine compartment where the block heater plugs in; no power. I cycled the "Block Heater" breaker in the mid-bath panel; still no power to the engine bay outlet. I've checked every switch that I can find on the dash and none are marked "block heater." Looked in the power bay too and didn't find a switch.

There has to be a switch somewhere. What am I missing?

Thanks! I just figured that out. It was hiding in plain sight right in front of me. This old dinosaur brain looks for SWITCHES...real SWITCHES. Technology...@%&*#@##!

Thanks again, Soniccruzer. I just checked it out and everything is working as it should.

Where might it be on a 2004 Dutchstar. There is a switch in the front cab area, but should there be a plug on the engine .

If you have a switch in the front cabinet, it should power a receptacle that the block heater is already plugged into in the engine compartment. On my coach it is right by the air cleaner.

Mine was unplugged and tie strapped to a support bracket. If there isn't a plug in the outlet then look around close by for a loose electrical plug.

On our 2004 MADP the block heater plugs into an outlet (controlled by the dash switch) in the rear drivers side bay where the shore power cord reel is located.
