I am redoing the water system in the coach. Can anyone tell me how the "Hot
water tank dry switch" works. I cannot find my sensor, and the orange wire
which should go to the sensor is grounded, which allows the relay to disengage.
If I went with plastic tubing, I would assume that the "T" fitting would have to
be right next tothe tank so it can be grounded as well, either that, or ground
the fitting.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Bill,

The sensor on my '84FC is just a screw threaded into a plastic
insulator in the center of a pipe plug mounted into a "T" on the hot
water outlet of the water heater. My wire is also disconnected and
grounded. When changing my water heater, I found the pipe plug was
full of crap that may have prevented the wire from grounding.
