    Does Electric Water Heater run on Generator?

    My new 5th wheel has a Suburban SW10DE water heater that will run on 120V, and a built-in Onan 5500 generator. Does the generator supply power to the water heater, or is the WH only 'electric' with shore power? Thanks!

    Electric Lift Switch Protector

    I am worried that at some point in time the switch on the electric lift will get pressed at the wrong time (when latched or when braced). ETA: This is for the roof lift. I'd like to put some switch protector or guard to prevent accidental activation. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Electrical system storage for 176SE

    With my 2021 176SE, the batteries have drained to 1.5V after just a few months of outside storage. My battery guys say there has to be a drain for that to happen. What are the proper steps to take with the electrical system for winter storage?
