    Swapping the jack knife sofa for factory theater seating

    Does anyone know a source for the factory theater seating in a Forester 3011DS or Sunseeker 301DS? The aftermarket seating sits to high off the floor due to the slide base.

    Water heater not keeping water hot

    We have a 2018 Rockwood GeoPro G19FD. When we are dry camping or even on shore power, the water heater heats up initially after we set up camp. I can hear the flames going. However, once we take a shower the flames never come on again to keep heating the water up again. Anyone else have...

    Tankless water heater

    I'm putting a tankless water heater in my wildwood. My only question is. I have an outlet under my bed as well as the propane hook up. My question is how do I hook up the electric if there is no cord on the heater and really no way to hard wire it in.

    Disinfecting with on-demand water heater

    Always disinfected the water system in our old popup (per Forest River instructions) using 1/4 cup bleach for 10 gallons of water, but that didn't have a water heater. All the procedures I'm seeing say "bypass water heater" and run the bleach solution through the water lines. The Forest River...

    My Cherokee came with a suburban sw6de water heater. I was told it runs on electric and propane. Today I de-winterized my trailer and fired up the water heater for the first time to make sure everything was ok. I was connected to a shore line and I flipped the switch at the water heater to...

    Gas Water Heater On = Propane Smell Inside RV

    Water heater model: Suburban SW6DE Obviously, in electric only mode, there's no gas smell. When the gas switch is turned on, water heats up faster (as expected) but there's a smell of gas / propane inside the RV and it seems to be coming from the furnace ducting... It's quite strong and...

    Propane tank/tankless water heater combo

    I own a 2020 Columbus 5th wheel with my first on demand tankless water heater. Typically, the system must sense significant water flow to turn on. Once on, you have unlimited hot water until you stop the flow by shutting off the hot water. But due to the design, you always end up with a large...
