Refir LP and LP Heat Switch
Blue Book states:
"L.P. HEAT Switch - When in the ON position, 12v power is supplied to the L.P.G furnaces." I believe our 'Bird is working as BB designed.

Refir LP and LP Heat Switch
Curt,
Are we talking two different switches? It may be interpretation, but I think I agree with what your book says: 12V power is supplied. As I recall in my 83 PT, I could have power to the furnace igniters without having LP going to them if the LP master or the alarm under the dinette was off. On my 91, I don't have LP furnaces, but if either (or both) the LP master is off and the alarm is off, I do not get any LP to the stove or the frig, but I do have igniter power to them. Am I reading this one wrong?? Mike Bulriss 1991 WB40 "Texas Minivan" San Antonio, TX --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Curt Sprenger" > > Blue Book states: > > "L.P.

MIke,
I'm not locating the documentation for the 12v Master Switch. I believe Bill Pape is right..the 12v Master Switch must be ON for propane to flow. On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 10:46 AM, mbulriss <"mbulriss@yahoo.com"> wrote:

My error. It's the ELECTRONIC 12v Master Switch that must be on, as Bill said.

Curt,
That's why I asked if I was talking about the right switch. LOL... It is so easy to talk in cross purposes on the different models. On the 91, I've got the 12V Electronic master, the LPG Master and the LP alarm to remember. I can guarantee you also that if you forget the 12V electronic master, the step doesn't go in!

Refir LP and LP Heat Switch
Don't forget the switch at the external LP filler neck, on my coach
it will override all LP systems. Because or the presence of an excess flow valve in the LPG tank outlet ( Safety Feature ), sometimes an appliance will not relight after a shutdown. . In this circumstance, wait five ( 5 ), minutes for LPG pressure to equalize before relighting, excerpt from owners manual. for those that have them Kurt Horvath 95 PT 42 10AC --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "mbulriss" <mbulriss@...> wrote: > > More than interesting; potentially dangerous?

I doubt that it has been modified. Mine works like Curt just described. So did my previous 81FC.
