Hello,

My name is Paul and I have a 2001 Damon Challenger with 52K on the clock, I'm in the UK and getting my head around this RV?????????????

I have some questions regarding panels and switches etc and don't want to cause any problems to the unit.

All help and advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you for letting me join. Kind Regards PFJG.

The first image is the control panel on board? the switch on the far right seems to be a press and release switch not an on / off one. Is this correct or shall I install a new switch? none of the level lights come on.

2nd image control panel to the left of the steering wheel, I can't find any destructions in the pack i have with the RV?

3rd Image, me being thick I'm sure... I have the instruction book but am still unsure of the position of the back and forth levers once the van is onsite and level? this has be baffled I'm afraid.

Thank you for taking the time to help a newbie its really appreciated.

Kind Regards

Paul.

Hi Paul,

I have a '95 Damon Intruder so a few years older, but some of those panels are the same as mine. To answer some of your questions:

The momentary switch on the black control panel is supposed to be momentary. If you want to check the level of your tanks, press and hold the switch down and the red/yellow/green lights will light up to show you how full your tanks are. If you're not seeing any lights, maybe all your tanks are empty? Or no power to panel? My level sensor for the propane tank had a wiring issue where it always showed full, even though it wasn't. I believe the power supply for the water pump runs through that panel as well. If your water pump works at least you know you have power there. Could be helpful to know when troubleshooting.

For your dash controls, I attached an owners manual that I found when I was looking for information on mine. Its not the same year but I've found info in other manuals thats proven useful. This might shed some light on the questions you have.

for the jack leveling system, the black levers at the top and bottom are locks for the front and back jacks. Push the top one forward, and the bottom one back (in the "operate" position). I have the same operators manual and it has a pretty decent description on how to operate the jacks.

Thank You, really appreciated I will let you know how I get on. Kind Regards Paul.
