Second, what is an appropriate sized grey water tote? I have read that a 10-12 gallon tote is sufficient in that the toilet only holds eight gallons. Any tote brand name suggestions?
Third. Somewhere on this site someone suggested replacing the white buld in the patio light with an amber one. My local RV dealer said no such amber bulb or amber lense exists that would fit in my 2619. True? If not could someone identify a bulf or lense that I could order? Thanks, Don

The switch for the electric water heater is a little hard to see, but it's there. Remove or open the access panel on the outside of the camper (it's on the driver's side). The switch is in the lower left quadrant towards the rear. It's marked on and off. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE WATER IN THE SYSTEM BEFORE you activate this switch. If you turn on the heater without water in the heater's tank you will burn out the element, pronto!! Hook up your water (or use the electric pump), open the water faucets in the sinks and wait until you have a flow before flipping the heater switch. Don't know about cotter pins- mine has no cotter pin.
Tote size - your choice. I believe the toilet holds 6 gallons when full, and the gray water tank on our TM holds 20 gallons. We have a ten gallon tote, which means that I have to make more than one trip to the dump station. If you get much beyond 10 gallons, the tote will be so heavy, you'll struggle lifting it. Some larger totes can be towed behind your TV. There has been a lot written about totes in the forum. If you can do a search, that might be a good source of info.
Amber bulb - I've never changed mine, but somebody just wrote about this the other day, saying that NAPA (I think) did have an amber bulb to fit. Take the old bulb with you to the auto parts store, and get the exact same size.
