Just took delivery of '08 Ltd SE 36' MDS and dealer didn't have all the answers. Does anyone know where the thermostat for heat in basement is located. Wanted to check setting? Also need owners manual for same model if one exist. And finally, where is the antenna boost switch? Thanks to anyone that can help.

 Hello & Welcome SC RV’er:
To my knowledge WRV never placed a thermostat in the basement of the Alpine. The basement is heated through ducting into the basement when the coach is heated.
If you were to go to the ACA http://www.alpinecoachassociation.com/ web site you may be able to locate an owners manual on line. We hope you join ACA and any of the other Alpine Clubs.

If it has Aqua Hot It will be on the basement ceiling, somewhere behind the water tank. At least that is where mine is.

SC- Check out the ACA Tech Library where you will find a 2008 SE Owner's Manual & 34' Coach Schematics which will be dangerously close to exactly what WRV woulda produced for a 2009 Manual, and a whole lotta other stuff applicable to your coach. If you didn't get a pile of other system manuals & product info w/the coach, you will want to copy that from another Alpiner at an upcoming rally.
Aside from that, you'll find the remaining answers to your questions here. TedIII is our resident expert.

On the issue of the antenna amplifier. We have a 2005 and it is located behind the panel above the front entry door which has the Sat TV Rcvr, Inverter Panel, etc. Don't know if the 2008 is the same, but in the 2005 they have separate antenna inputs to the TV for Off-the-Air and Cable, so they just leave the amplifier on all the time. Again, don't know about the 2008, but that will give you a place to start.

Both of my Alpines had the antenna amp inside the entertainment cabinets, I think both of mine were on the drivers side. Where it is mounted, you could not reach it to operate its off-on switch and there was none in the circuit. I am sure that it draws next to no amps. That said, being the way I am, I added a switch with an indicator light to its circuit, in the front of the cabinet where it could be seen and reached easily.

The TV amp may not draw much current, but when you add the CO detector, propane leak detector etc. it adds up. That's why you turn off the house battery switch by the door when you are away from external power for some time.

Not that it matters, a lot, the switch was moved to the battery compartment in '06 or ,07. My concern was having the antenna powered all of the time and we don't use the OTA antenna very often, while still in the coach a lot.
