Battery/elecrtic
You might unhook the battery and with the camper plugged in to shore power the 12v lights should work. If not check the breaker that goes to the inverter. If that is not tripped then check the power output at the converter. I would expect the inverter is shot. I replaced the one on my Jaco two years ago with (Progressive Dynamics 60 Amp Power Converter with Charge Wizard and the remote pendant)
Locating the water heater bypass on forest river 398
Locating the water heater bypass on a Forest River RV, specifically the Forest River Georgetown 398 model, can vary based on the specific layout and design of the RV. However, in most RVs, including Forest River models, the water heater bypass valves are typically located near the water heater unit itself. Here are some general steps to help you locate the water heater bypass on your Forest River Georgetown 398:
1. **Identify the Water Heater Unit:**
- The water heater in your RV is usually located inside a cabinet or compartment, either inside the RV or accessible from the exterior.
- It is commonly found in the kitchen area, bathroom, or an exterior compartment.
2. **Access the Water Heater Compartment:**
- Locate the compartment where the water heater is installed. This could be inside the RV or in an exterior storage compartment.
- Open the compartment door to access the water heater.
3. **Look for the Bypass Valves:**
- Once you have located the water heater, look for the bypass valves near the water heater unit.
- The bypass valves are used to redirect water flow during winterization or maintenance to bypass the water heater.
4. **Check Behind the Water Heater:**
- In some cases, the bypass valves may be located behind or on the backside of the water heater unit.
- You may need to remove a panel or access door to reach the bypass valves.
5. **Identify the Bypass Valve Configuration:**
- The water heater bypass system typically consists of three valves: a cold water valve, a hot water valve, and a bypass valve.
- The bypass valve should be set to bypass the water heater when winterizing the RV or performing maintenance.
6. **Consult the RV Manual:**
- if you have one, refer to the owner's manual or documentation provided with your Forest River Georgetown 398 for specific information on the location and operation of the water heater bypass system.
If you are unable to locate the water heater bypass valves or have difficulty accessing them, it may be helpful to consult with a Forest River dealer or RV service center for assistance.

Wwhere is the power center in the 2005 coachman freelander and where is the vallve for water heater how do you turn on
The placement of the power centre and water heater valve in a 2005 Coachmen Freelander motorhome may differ based on the particular model and floorplan of your RV. Nevertheless, I can offer you some general details on where these parts are usually located and how to use them.
RV Power Center:
The power centre in a recreational vehicle (RV) typically contains the electrical distribution panel, fuses, and circuit breakers. It is usually situated within the RV, often in a cabinet or utility area.
- Search for a panel that has a door or cover that can be opened. Inside, you will discover the circuit breakers and fuses that regulate the electrical systems in your RV.
- To activate or reset circuit breakers, locate the one that corresponds to the specific area of the RV you wish to power, and switch it to the "ON" position. If a circuit breaker trips, it will be in the "OFF" position, and you will need to reset it by moving it to "ON."
Water Heater Valve:
- The water heater valve for an RV's hot water system is usually located near the water heater unit itself, which is often found in an exterior access compartment.
- You'll typically need to access the water heater compartment by opening an exterior access panel or door on the side of your RV. The water heater will be a rectangular or cylindrical unit.
- Once you locate the water heater, look for the water supply lines connected to it. You should find a bypass valve system nearby that allows you to control the flow of water into the water heater.
- The valve positions may vary depending on the RV, but in general, there are typically three positions: "Normal," "Bypass," and "Winterize." To use the water heater, you'll want to set the valves to the "Normal" position. In the "Bypass" or "Winterize" positions, the water heater is either bypassed or prepared for cold weather storage.
Conclusion.
Different models and years of RVs may have variations in the location and functioning of these components. To obtain accurate instructions for your Coachmen Freelander model, it is crucial to refer to your RV's owner's manual. If you have any doubts about any aspect of your RV's systems, it is advisable to seek help from a professional RV technician or contact the manufacturer's customer support.
