2004 endurance heated holding tanks question

[turbshangin]

Hey everyone new to the forum here… I just picked up a 2004 endura 6340 and it has heated holding tanks but my question is, is there a switch to turn on heaters? I’ve looked around coach and haven’t found anything labeled tank heaters or what have you…. Thanks in advance

My 2007 Tour Master had heated basement compartments (small ducts from the two furnaces in the living space...) so the basement did not get below freezing when the RV was occupied. I do not recall any separate heating for the tanks themselves...

The exterior mirrors were electrically heated, and the optional "arctic package" included additional insulation. There was an engine block heater for the big diesel as a standard feature.

In my Gulfstream it is a standard looking light switch located in the bathroom. It’s not labeled but mine has a black switch plate cover and the toggle switch itself is red in color.

Good luck.

On my 95 Scenic Cruiser, there is enough leakage from the furnace ducts to keep the basement toasty. Walking on the floor bear foot, you can tell where the basement compartments end and the floor is not enclosed. Though the floor is insulated when exposed to the air, it is definitely colder than the floor over the basement compartments.

The factory provision for heated tanks is a couple of air ducts from the furnace that go into the tank compartments. There are no electric heating pads. if yours has electric heat, then I'd guess its a modification by a previous owner. You'd have to visually confirm that there are electric heating pads, and then follow the wires.

Hey Chuck - where did your two ducts come in? I see a duct coming in on the passenger side inside the cargo bay just in front of the water manifold bay but haven't found another one. Does this ring a bell on yours?

I vaguely recall the other was on ceiling of the curb side over the front of the compartment with the full cargo slide-out, or perhaps in the smaller curbside compartment in front of that over the water and air coiled hoses... Just a 1.5 or 2 inch paper/foil/coiled wire duct tube with no end fitting. I put a small screen on it to prevent it from becoming a mouse subway.
