Hi Kay, I presume you're referring to the water heater by-pass valves as there are no other valves beside those on the propane bottles. The water heater by-pass values are usually immediately around the water heater itself, on the inside of the RV. I believe the water heater on your RV is on the back wall, so you would look on the inside near the back likely in the area above the outside kitchen box (some times you need to remove panels).

If the tanks are turned off, the alarm may be telling you that you have run out of gas. Lots of information here. https://www.google.com/search?q=komfort+26+Propane+alarm+beeping ..

I believe that the fuses and circuit breakers are below your stove, almost to the floor.

On the opposite side of the coach from the slide there should be an access point that will allow you to insert a manual crank to retract or extend the slide. It is usually a small hole through the frame.

There should be a junction box located outside under the floor and will have a "pigtail" wire going from it to inside the frame of the coach. Beyond that you have to trace the wiring as there aren't any published wiring diagrams.

Contact the manufacturer of the coach for their owner's manual. However, each appliance will have a separate owner's manual form its perspective manufacturer, i.e., Water Heater = Suburban, A/C = Dometic, Refrigerator = Norcold, etc.. There will not be a diagram of electrical or plumbing as a majority of the RV manufacturers do not publish that information.

It should gravity feed into a dump station.

You should be able to see the pilot light when it is dark outside. Even when it is not dark outside, you can probably see it if you peer inside, but you should also be able to hear it if you are in a quiet area. You can find the pilot light by looking at the heater and identifying the gas pipes: they are typically a little corroded and have valves on them. Just follow the gas pipe into the murky depths of the heater and look around for the blue flame. Sometimes you'll see a thin-diameter tube branch off and run in tandem with the main pipe: this conveys gas to the pilot light. Finally, you might have to open a little aluminum cover and peer inside. If you don't see a flame, you can probably identify about where it ought to be because you will see the main burners. Of course, the pilot light should be right next to the main burners and if you don't see/hear/feel heat there, your pilot is out.

The handle on your dump valve is likely not connected to the inside of the valve any more. See if it pulls out of the housing. If it does, it will have to be replaced with a new valve.

did you turn on the hot water heater? water pump? limited,, and there is a nice dutchmen owners dot org site which I belong to,, alot of smart guys. good luck

Easiest way to find it is to turn it on, then go outside and listen. It will make some noise. There will be an access door close to the pump. Open it up, and there it is. A select few models you access the pump from inside the coach, but not very many.

check you fuse on top of your pumps one of tour valves could be stuck. tap lightly with hammer

Could be thermostat or safety switch(es) in the furnace. Are you sure that the pilot is staying lit? Are you sure the main burner is lighting? Are you sure the forced draft blower is running, and the blower-detection "flapper" switch is working OK? Any of these safety devices will cause the gas supply valve to close if they are not "satisfied" in a few seconds after the thermostat calls for heat. They keep your RV safe!

check that there is gas in the bottle , the tap is on check that there is power to the relight system

Find where the fresh water tank fill is located. Directly below that under the coach you should see a single low point drain for the fresh water tank. It may have a cap on it but it may also have a valve at the location of the drain hose to the tank fitting.

Be careful, some manufacturers use Black for positive cable instead of red. White or green for negative. Why they don\'t all stick to same as car, red for + black for neg-.?? Best way to be sure is to check opposite end of cables. The negative, regardless of color will be bolted to frame short way back from battery, usually on inside of frame rail on tongue. That leaves whatever color, as + positive. Positive also normally has a fused link as well, or circuit breaker in circuit.
