Hoping to encourage more Rialta talk here.

Hi Paul,



I agree! Rialta's are awesome, but fairly complicated machines. Helping each other as we figure them out helps everybody. Jump in folks!

Switch inside door

Hi,


There should be two switches. One is the hot water heater and the other is a little light by the step/entry area.

Hi,


The heat in our 1998 Rialta runs off the propane and I believe the fan for it is off the auxilary coach batteries. Use the wall thermostat. Ours slides (hard) on the bottom of the...
