New LD owner in MI September 15, 2019, 09:18:43 am Hello Lazy Daze owners,I just picked up a 97 and I'm bringing it up to her full potential. I am going to have a few questions about stuff I haven't figured out yet. #1 is there no battery crossover to start engine from coach batteries#2 are the two switches in the loft labeled furnace and light stock or added. I found the light but baffled by what the furnace switch does. 1 Likes

Lots of folks carry long jumper cables. Larry Wade installed a marine grade battery switch which can connect the two together for this situation. (likely similar to a Blue Sea 3002)Quote#2 are the two switches in the loft labeled furnace and light stock or added. I found the light but baffled by what the furnace switch does.A switch near the loft bed was sometimes a user added feature to turn the furnace on in the morning without gettting out of bed.Art
