Picked up 2018 33.2 DP Question service Light won’t shut off in generator compartmen

[travel5]

Hi Everyone

We picked up or MH on Abbotsford and driving across the U.S to home in Ontario
Staying at the FlyingJ which has been great.
couple things appreciate some help if you might know the answer
1. Does anyone know how much diesel the generator uses during the overnight while you’re sleeping period of 7 hours.
2. the service light on top of the compartment where the generator does not shut off there’s no switch on it.
3. The back of the coach passenger tire area is lower than the drivers side is that ok? We noticed this when we parked at flying j.
Dashboard at night while driving flickers off Every 18 seconds than comes back on
Thanks everyone we are in Utah leaving here this morning heading home on the I80

Another question for you all is what does the fault recycle in the hot water tank mean?

[vmyoung61]

Generator should only burn about a quarter of a gallon an hour.

I'm not at the coach right now, but I believe the light switch is on the backside of the light.

The back should be pretty even. Were you sure you were on level ground when you noticed it? The airbags will try to keep it fairly level. if ground sloped up to passenger side, it would mean the tires on that side would be up under the coach more.

"Fault recycle on hot water tank" - Where are you getting that? I don't recall ever seeing that.

Also - The generator won't run the fuel below 1/4 of a tank. It will shut off.

It says it on the wall panel to the right of the washroom door this is a 2018 palazzo
Maybe it’s not on earlier models??

The switch for the light up in the front generator area was missing on many of the early 2018 builds, especially on the 33.3 models. I’m not sure about the 33.2 models. There’s a thread in this forum that many members wrote about. The fix was for the dealer to install a switch or to replace the light fixture with one with a built in switch like those in the storage bays. Some members just installed a switch themselves

You are correct. We don't have it.

My 2018 came with a switch on the light in the generator compartment, just like the ones in the storage bays. I'm in Utah! Have a great trip

Answers:
1. 1/2 gal per hour is my experience.

2. Is a factory issue, warranty will install one.
3. Did not notice this on mine. 2018 33.3
4 Software fix from freightliner. You can turn lights on and then start the engine to fix this in the meantime.
