Hot Water on a 1990 Pace Arrow

Water heater starts fine with switch over stove. Water seems to stay hot ok and works fine my question is the only way to turn off the hot water heater is to turn off the gas? Or does that polite light switch suppose to do that???

Yes push the button and the light will go off and the hot water tank is off.
I have the same year getting it ready to sell.

Yes the factory put a 100 Watt inverter there to run the front TV. It is of the old type seen back in those years.
The main charger/inverter is located mid coach with the breakers and fuses.
There is not much I can not tell you about this unit as I purchased one two years ago
that looked nice but that is where it stopped I have either replace with new or repaired just about everything in it or on it. I have purchased a newer unit so some
one will get a nice unit when I finish moving into the new unit and put it up for sale.

I cant get my TV to come on with this inverter. It plugs into the 110 receptacle? And five wires disappear into the ceiling? Is it of no use now days?? Can I simply turn it off?

Check the front of the inverter there is a off/on and reset there and a red light if it is on.
Check to see if you are getting 12 volts to it you might have a fuse out some where.

Ok on the back there is two AC plugs check with a AC meter to see if you have 120
volts or something close. If you do and you plug the TV into one the TV should work.
If you do not have 120 volts the breaker may need reset. It is located on the front
and looks like a GFI with red and black buttons. Make sure they are pushed in then
check for voltage. If all looks good and no voltage I think the inverter is toast.
You should also have a TV amp with lighter plug in there on the wall if so you can
purchase a 100 to 150 Watt plug in inverter and use that for the TV. Much smaller
and you get rid of that big boat anchor
