Button, button

When we were kids we used to play a game called Button, Button, Who’s got the button?

It’s not a button we are trying to guess the location of right now, though. It is a fuse.

My gray tank has an uphill run to the dump outlet. So Sportsmobile installed a macerator pump to bring the water up to the the necessary level. We were rinsing my fresh water tank the other day when the macerator decided not to work anymore. We think the fuse needs to be replaced.

At least, that’s what we are hoping needs to be done.

Except we can’t find the fuse. It’s not on the main house panel. It’s not on the vehicle panel under the driver’s seat.

We’ve been having email conversations with Sportsmobile trying to guess where it is. Paul suggested we unscrew the switch from the wall and see if the fuse is in the wires.

But our switch is not screwed to a wall; it is pressure fit inside the metal door frame. No, they didn’t recommend we pull it out to look for the fuse.

So, it looks like my next trip will be to Sportsmobile in Texas in hopes that looking at it will jog someone’s memory as to where that fuse is.

And hope that replacing it once they finally find it solves the problem.

Because once that gray tank fills up, I am dead in the water.

Quite literally since the only way I have to tell it is full is to have it back up in the shower which is also the floor to the toilet!

What a way to start a new camping season!

TTYL,

Linda

  1. Oh my goodness. So sorry to hear about this very dirty problem. I can’t believe if this company puts these in RVs that they wouldn’t know where to check for the fuse. Guess you will have to use the park restrooms until they get that problem fixed.

  2. i will be sorry i say this probably… almost before i say it…
    because i’ve been in it… and i fell love with it…and it IS your wonderful baby… and your home
    away from home!

    but i have to tell ya ~ it seems to me ~ for a brand new (only a year after all) rv…
    it seems to be having an inordinate amount of trouble! one thing after another.

    i believe i’d be giving a company a piece of my mind!
    even if i had to go all the way to texas to do it!

  3. OH NO!

    no rv that new (only a year after all) …
    should be having stuff going constantly so wrong.
    i’ll probably be sorry i said that! LOL.

    if is… after all… your baby. your home away from home.
    and when i stepped inside it… i fell in love with it! i did!

    but.
    BUT. they needed to fix all the kinks BEFORE they sold it to you.
    there have been some very MAJOR kinks! enough already!
    i’d be giving a few choice TEXANS a piece of my minnesota mind!!!

    and now… you’ve just seen an example of how my dang blood pressure stays so high. LOL.

  4. Oh Linda. So sorry to hear this. It is so frustrating when things go so wrong and then the company can’t seem to help you find the fix. How about trading it in on a Roadtrek?

  5. I would think you’re probably not going to be doing anything that might fill it up. Of course, there is an option. You could park on a big hill where the water flows in the right direction. 🙂

  6. Of all the problems to deal with in a RV I think my least favorite is wastewater problems. And your tank isn’t nearly as large as our. Hope you get it sussed and corrected, right, the first time.
