Post #9 shows your obviously mis-wired battery bank.


Post #16 says you have wired the batteries in series.

My Thor 28A has the low point drains under the bed, on the passenger side, near the middle of the bed. My low point drain doesn't do a very good job, I still have to blow out the lines.

I can't think of any reason not to lock the car doors and there are plenty of reasons to lock them. I always lock mine. Just be sure your only key is not locked in the car.

Don't put too much faith in your waste tank gauges, especially the black tank. It is common for the gauges to get contaminated and indicate that the tank is more full than it really is.
