Don, I just heard from Newmar and was told the controller (at least on mine?) was behind the pegboard, rt. Side of the tanks. I have a TV there,so will be a pain to get at it, considering all the other stuff I need to do on this coach. But that is where I had thought it might be after tracing the half bath toilet discharge line through the floor joist cavity. So that'll have to wait for now.

One way to control the water use is to shut off shoreline water and use the water pump. You can leave the water off when just watering so no extra is being used. Why these bonehead mfgrs don't put a water pump switch IN the bathroom is beyond me. Had to add it myself. I'm sure some of you already have one.

I'm not suggesting that when you have full hook up doing this. Plenty of water use is a good thing when you can do it.

That's good news. My pegboard is easy to access. I thought I had spotted a couple of Dometic units in my pass thru storage bay when I was hunting around.

I think adding the shut off valves will be where I start, just for safety purposes.

Tomorrow, I'm installing the Progressive Industries Surge Protector.....one thing at a time.

We use the "FOCKERS" method when dry camping and the black tank can last up to 7 days. deSanford

I think this little box might be behind the heat vent in the main bath.

If you hold either button down for 6 seconds or so it will override the RED light.

OC Bill.....Good info, it will save me putting a switch on the box to disconnect the wire when the light comes on.

I tried this and couldn't get it to work. Have others been successful in overriding the red light?
Thanks

This all doesn't sound promising

One thing I have noticed, It doesn't flush good unless I have the water pump turned on.

You mean while connected to city water?
