Heated Tanks and Dump Valves

Post by Larry&CherylPrice »

I own a Born Free 2014 24 Spirit E450 that appears to have most of the options. In my coach specifications sheets, coach options page, the "Heated Tanks and Dump Valves" option is checked. I can’t seem to find any evidence that this is true.
How do I confirm that my coach has this option?

Well, if you actually have that option there should be a labelled switch somewhere in the coach to turn on those heaters.

If I recall correctly the heated tank option was an electric heating pad that was attached to the bottom of the tanks. So if you look underneath the coach at the bottom of the tanks there should be a pad glued on to the bottom, probably with some wires going to it.

Thank you for the replies.
I did look underneath the tanks and did not see anything that would resemble a heating pad.
There is no switches either.

I guess the original spec sheets are inaccurate.

My switches are in the wall next to the door pretty high up.
