Puzzled as to why my front water tank was near full, I will have to check that out as I am sure I emptied them. Today I hope to drop the front water tank,...

I am trying to trace wires in my van, and reading the literature, I think there is a mistake in the wiring instructions. Jayco's wiring of the twelve pin plug clearly says that pin 2 (black) is +12volts from the battery, however "Tow Secure" installation instructions (the breakaway unit used) says t...
