Itโs obviously that the oasis died as Doug said and they decided to save a few bucks putting in the precision temp in its place. You have a puzzle to figure out how they wired it .. hopefully with a breaker somewhere. Hydronic heat has registers that are normally in baseboard cabinets etc. Iโd bet they used the oasis original ones and just plumbed them in.
Are you the second owner? If you are the guy who sold it to you was playing dumb.

If NO furnace, it came with the Oasis system. At sometime he must have frozen the Oasis and replaced it with the Precision Temp system. When you freeze a Hydronic system, you have destroyed it and will need replaced. The Precision and Oasis will utilize the same hook ups. The only difference will be how the system is controlled from inside the RV. If you had a Hot Water Heater, Sorry, no such thing. If you had a (cold):W WATER Heater, then you would have a HOLE in the side of the RV, usually on the drivers side in a DSDP. Hole about 15 to 18 inches square. As I stated, The Precision temp website is horrible as it does NOT show operation or the remote wall switch. If the website DOES show it, it is very difficult to find it. Doug

I just checked Newmar's archives. They list ONLY a Standard 10 gallon water heater or the upgrade optional Oasis type LP powered System hydronic zoned system.
So, that points to one of the problems with forums. The OP has just purchased a 8 year old Motorhome and has questions. BUT, he has no way of knowing what the previous owner/s did to that coach. They may have added a Tankless system and wired it in such a way that it does indeed stay on when he thinks he has turned it off. When he checks, he will post the Brand and hopefully model of his Tankless system. We can then give him more accurate info. Doug
I was at my mh this morning and found that the manufacturer is Precision Temp, the model is a Twin Temp Jr. Hydronic Heating/Water Heater. I could not get to the model number. Thanks for all your help.

1. TRUE Tankless RV water heaters CANNOT utilize 120 volts to give continuous HOT water. Even HOME 240 volt systems must be designed for AC operation and will NOT function as well as LP or Natural Gas Tankless Water Heaters.
2. Even the LARGE Aqua hot with 2- 120 elements, will only give about 4 gallons of hot water before the 120 elements cannot keep up with the demand--Aqua hot states to utilize the Diesel burner for continous
3. Most RV TANKLESS water Heaters are LP powered or Diesel powered(Aqua Hot)
4. Lets say the OP came back after a week and had Hot water. He needs to then run the Hot water and see HOW long/much hot water he had. I doubt more than a gallon if his switches were indeed turned off. But, if he does have a 120 system also, then that would account for the hot water he had but just not much hot water. Doug
