Black / Gray tank heaters

I have a Fleetwood Providence 2007 40X, I was wondering if anyone knows if my unit has black and gray tank heaters? And if I do, how do I turn them on and off?

Thanks

Tom

I have a 2007 Discovery with setup for winter. Curbside furnace heats the compartment that the tanks are in (Fresh/Gray/Black).

Curbside? What is that?

I know what curbside means, but are you referring to your furnace in your coach?

Yes most late model fleet woods heat their tanks with a duct from the furnace. Take a look around and you will probably see an open duct going down way.

If your consider a 1986 Bounder "late model". GRIN
That's when Fleetwood introduced basements and heated tanks.
After that Fleetwood started adding basements and heated tanks to the rest of their lineup.

Sorry for the delay gettinga back to you all. Was out in the rig at the beach. Rather on the cools side.

My 93 Pace Arrow Diesel pusher has two furnaces on the curbside (right). One forward, kitchen up to drivers seat & the 2nd one heats the bathroom & Master. Cant recall witch one had an exhaust to the compartment that housed the water, gray & black tanks.

Same with the 07 Discovery, One compartment heated by propane furnace.

Just have to remember to keep the propane furnaces on when winter camping.

Deb & I are going to try some winter camping this winter up here in New Hampshire

Thought he was talking about an 07 providence? I would consider that late model. I didn't see anything about it being an 86. Sorry if I missed something.

07 Providence and 07 Discovery, rather close in years. Brought up my 93 Pace to show others it also has a heated wet bay.
