New to me and getting her figured out and back on the road.

[Dajain]

Hello Everyone!
I just picked up a 2010 Heartland Landmark Augusta and going thru the systems and getting everything working again.
The guy I got it from used it as temporary quarters and hasn't had water, electrical or sewer hooked up to it for 5 years.
But here's the thing, I got it for free, so I have room to stick some money into it.

One thing that has me puzzled, in the control panel (Slide outs, Awning, Tank levels, etc) there is a light switch which reads "Electric w/h" but then the tanks panel has the switch for the propane water heater.
Does this thing have a separate electric water heater, and if so, where is it located?


The wife & I are excited to start using this old girl.

I suspect it's one heater that runs on either switch. My water heater runs on either propane or electric depending on what switch I throw.

That would make sense. I'll have to check that out.
This thing does seem to have a lot of "bells & Whistles" so that would not surprise me at all.

Our 1995 Terry 5th wheel wasn't nearly this fancy. haha

Our old class c had two switches for the water heater - one for propane and one for electric.

The electric side also had a switch inside the water heater box as well as a breaker.

Make sure the water heater is full before turning on the electric - the element will not last long at all if no water to heat.

We always filled, heated on propane side, made sure it was all vented etc to ensure full, then switch to electric.

The number one issue I see, probably from the crack in the front fiberglass, is the decay is dropping the panel where the hitch hooks up. Stop all leaks as soon as possible.

Welcome aboard! That's a pretty nice project given the cost to you. As "TheLooks" suggested, the first thing you need to do is get the unit weather tight. Repair that Fiberglass Cap, recalk the roof, check the windows and door seals. Then the fun part.....the electric and plumbing systems. It helps to be a handy kinda guy owning an RV even if it's brand new. They are always a work in progress.

There are lots of friendly, knowledgeable folks here that are willing to give you some advice or at least offer a comment to help.

Good luck and safe travels!
