Batteries:
As well as the truck battery, there is an auxiliary battery under the hood and a coach battery underneath the couch. They are connected in parallel, and so are charged together. They can be used together, or separately if you want to make sure of having some reserve power.
Red power switches:
Bottom switch disconnects all power from coach (both under-couch and auxiliary batteries): turn off when not using motorhome for a while.
Top switch disconnects couch battery.
Auxiliary battery can also be disconnected, using a knife switch attached directly to the battery.
Heated holding tanks
The switch for both waste tanks is under the wardrobe closet. The fresh water tank has no heater; just make sure that warm air from the furnace can circulate to the tank.
Draining the water tank
Use the tap by the rear bumper. It’s a slow process!
Winterizing
To drain the pipes, unscrew the tap under the drawers below the wardrobe closet.
To drain the hot water tank, use a wrench to remove the drain plug. Socket to fit this is in one of the drawers.
To isolate the hot water tank, to conserve antifreeze, turn the tap below the three drawers to right angle with the pipe. The tap is in the nest of pipes and cables behind the power unit; easier to find with the fingers than it is to see it!
Read Provan’s manual for more info. This suggests that draining is sufficient, and that's probably correct, but after some disasters with our earlier RVs we've always made sure there was RV antifreeze through the whole system other than the hot water tank.
Awning
Follow the instructions for a curved-sided vehicle. The awning works fine, but I doubt we used it more than a handful of times in six years.
Wheel jack
The jack and handle are under the couch.
Refrigerator
AC and propane settings work fine, but remember there is no automatic switchover; you have to set it. The DC setting only holds the temperature; don’t expect it to cool.
Generator
The generator’s fuel comes from a feed from the gas tank above the ¼ full mark, so it will not work if the tank is near empty. If storing the camper for a while, use Stabil or similar, or the generator’s carb will get gummed up.
HONESTY SECTION
We love our Tiger but it isn’t entirely problem-free. Most of these problems are not unique to our Tiger, but the buyer should be aware of them:
Filling the gas tank:
This takes a while as the tube to the tank is not wide enough or at the correct angle to allow a full speed fill. Be prepared to dribble the gas in.
Condensation
Remember to open a window if cooking or breathing in cold/damp weather. If not, you will get condensation on the windows, particularly those around the bed.
Leak in bathroom vent
While driving in heavy rain, the rain will beat up under the vent cover and capillary action will result in drips from the underside of the cover. These drips flow out through the shower drain, so there’s no damage.
Pump noisy
The water pump works fine but it’s always been noisy.
Black water tank reads full
It’s read “full” on the system monitor panel since the day after we took delivery.
Left hand aux power socket in truck does not work
The cigarette lighter socket on the right works fine, but the LH one does not.
Toilet paper is not waterproof
When using the bathroom shower, remember to remove the toilet paper from the bathroom.
