I too am a little puzzled at your wording of fresh water getting into the holding tank when the valve is closed. Although, Herman probably has the correct answer. The check valve that he is referring to should be installed after the water leaves the pump, and some motorhomes have a check valve built into the pump itself. If the check valve is not working correctly, then the pressure of cg water will certainly fill the fresh water holding tank from the reverse end.

Good luck Kay Smith

Just wondering what has happened with your awning issue.

Sorry, I didn't realize the picture was of empty bedroom, that was the carpet and the wardrobe. I have attached the picture of bed here.

The bed is an adjustable, queen size with memory foam mattress, adjusts both head and feet. My wife has back problems, and an esophagus hernia, and requires sleeping in an elevated position, which makes this kind of bed worthwhile. Also good for viewing tv in bed. Ha-Ha. Medico, your coach looks like a beauty also.

I've had very good luck on e-bay, buying many RV items. Simple to type in RV water heater, and bam nearly always something shows up, some buy it now, some you can actually bid on. I built my coach, including buying the bus and nearly all of the parts this way, and saved a good deal of money that way.

Good luck,

I don't really know about Gerard awnings, but I have had a similar problem with led lighting. While trying to isolate the problem, I found the inverter had an issue with grounding.

Solution was to make sure that no ground wire in the coach accidentally bonds with the coach, or that the ground wires do not bond with the neutral wires. When I refer to ground wire, I mean the green wire, or any bare copper wire. And the neutral wire is of course the white wire. Your coach and every appliance should treated as an appliance. I was having an issue with led lights being partially on when the inverter was on. When I found the culprit, there was a bond in the transfer switch at the generator terminal, I removed that bond, and everything works correctly now. Hope you find your problem soon, and it is an easy fix.

Here is a few photos of my newest ride. She is an MCI 102A3, 1988 model, Retired Greyhound, then retired Vermont Carriers. Took 2 years to complete all inside and awnings. Full body paint is next on the agenda, but we plan to travel and have some fun for a little while. New to FMCA, and really enjoy reading the forums.
