Newby Chaparral help

[benjamlt66]

We have a 2019 Chaparral 336TSIK and are having some newby issues.

1. We are hooked to city water but when we set the water to "system fill" the tank doesn't seem to fill up. Do we need to turn the water pump on or are we doing something else wrong.

2. The thermostat has a setting for electric heat but it only seems to blow cold air. Is propane the only heating source?

3. We parked our RV in the lot for 3 days and when we came back the batteries were dead and we had to use jumpers to get power. We checked to make sure everything was off before we left the lot...what did we screw up?

4. Where is the manual point for raising/lowering the landing gear. Even the LazyDays tech we spoke to on the phone couldn't figure it out.

Thanks for any useful inputs/suggestions.

here are photos of the panel - and yes, we had it set to Tank Fill when attempting to fill the tank. Yes, we had walk around at dealer and they said just set it to tank fill. Yes, we have a pressure regulator...does that need to come off when filling the tank?



not sure the image is coming through...no clear directions on how to attach a photo

For the landing gear manual attachment check the road side propane tank
compartment in the front upper corner. If not there look at the top of the road side upright and follow it from there. Did you get the proper tool when you picked up the RV?

1. pics of the "system fill" would help
2. don't think you have electric heat. you should just have a propane furnace. only electric heat would be if your a/c had a heat strip. you need to set the thermostat t0 AU(Auto)
3. did you turn the battery disconnect switch to OFF? RVs have parasitic power drains that will drain a battery down in 2 or 3 days, if not plugged into shore power.
4. have no idea

1. Did you have a pressure regulator attached?
3. With the parasitic loads, that’s about right. Letting your batteries go that low probably ruined them.
2. and 4. Did you have a walk-around/demonstration at the dealer’s?
