    My husband changed the anode rod and the heating element in our water heater. Went camping last week and no hot water when using electricity. Switched to propane and it worked. What could be causing this? Also, inside the camper there is a button that turns on the water heater and next to it...

    Electrical woes

    I have a Rockwood that has been leaking (another whole issue that I’m addressing). I put the roof down after several days of rain, and I believe some water has shorted out the fuse that powers the exterior roof actuator, interior lights and possibly even the fan. Cant get any to turn on. Other...

    Barker Electric gate valve

    I like most of Cedar Creek owners were disappointed with the reliability of the black water gate valve, as many have pointed out in previous threads of it inability to hold back waste. I've been living with a patch work solution for years, by adding a external gate valve at the end of sewage...

    Cherokee 324TS - Electric/Water connections

    We purchased a new 324TS in May and are quite happy with it but, I find it odd that the Water inlet is mounted directly over the Power connection. Does anyone else find this strange and potentially dangerous? Thanks
