I have sanitized rinsed and refilled fresh water tank. after camping for a week when I drain the hot water heater, the anode tube has a slimy clear jelly like substance on it. this has happened sever times. what is happening?????
We finally got her out of the shop (full house systems check) and ran her out on a shakedown trip. All systems worked out well. We were at a full hookup site so we haven't used the freshwater holding tank yet and wanted to sanitize first.
I've read a few blogs and watched a few YT videos, but I...
Ok, so we put in a new GSWH-2. Plumbing went in well, gas hooked up and on. Water is good, gas is good, no leaks, etc. On to the wiring...
Seems like this should be simple and I hope I'm just missing something. I have 3 wires coming from the RV: brown, light blue and green. Flipping the RV...
Does anyone know what a good on-demand replacement unit would be for a Suburban SW10DE water heater? Everything I’m finding online has smaller cutout dimensions, and is typically only for 6-gallon replacement units. Any help is appreciated!
2005 Forest River Cedar Creek 5th Wheel. Suburban Propane and Electric water heater. Electric water heater works fine. Can anyone tell me or ideally, send me a picture of where the 12V propane water heater switch might be? I can't seem to find it inside the RV. The electric side of the...
How do you access the anode rod in the h20 heater ? Is it from the outside access panel or inside the rig? I’ve been reading some post that these should be checked and or changed every year. My new to me 2004 FR Sunseeker God only knows when the last time this was checked. Previous owner...
I'm stumped... Element, switch, thermostat and 110 breaker all working (digital multimeter) but I have zero power from the breaker to the switch. Anyone have some checkoffs for me to try please? Propane works great. Everything worked great last year and this year I just can't figure it out...
Hello all,
We have a 6 gallon gas / electric.
When there is a gentle breeze blowing it has problems lighting. You can hear the gas catch like a small explosion as it blows itself out as it catches all at once.
If the wind is stronger it catches and stays lit just fine.
If I hold up...
We have a new Cardinal with a on demand water heater . When in the shower and turn the temperature of the water down the heater shuts off . Has anyone had the same problem and if so what is the solution to fix it . Thanks.
Some family members just bought a 2014 Wildwood #27RKSS and the only switch I can find for the water heater ignites the LP burner but I can't find a switch to run it on electric. I know it has dual capabilities because there is a 15A circuit breaker marked water heater in the panel and it has a...
Does anyone know where the water heater bypass is located on a 2022 2318g or does it have one? I checked at the water heater itself and it only has the in and out lines running to the tank.
Furnace not working
Hello ForestRiver Forums,
After taking our 2022 Geo Pro 19FD out for the first time this season, the furnace didn’t work. Propane is going to the water heater and stove though. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Ok this may be dumb question number 1,342 but, does the h20 heater only heat the water in the fresh water holding tank ? Surely it cannot heat the h20 coming from the city water connection 🤨🧐😏
First time using weather heater this season and when I turn the waterheater on at the panel the light goes on for a second then off. No hot water. Any ideas of problem thanks in advance
Sorry for the elementary question - documentation and YouTube have not been 100% clear.
I have a 2017 FR Salem 23RB
On gas vs Elec - I assumed to run the water heater on electric I just turn the on/off switch on inside on the control panel and the gas run is the on/off outside in the...
Hello everyone!
First post is out of necessity! I recently purchased a Berkshire XLT43A and on our first trip I'm getting an ignite failure for the water heater. About 5 days ago when I did the walkthrough with the tech it worked just fine. Now when you turn the switch on with no water running...
I cannot find a specific question about this so apologies in advance if this has been covered. We are dry camping for the weekend and I have propane (turned on) and hooked up to generator. I do not have any hot water. Water comes out of the hot water side but it’s cold. Hot water switch is...
I have a Rockwood 1970ESP pop-up camper with a 6 gallon Suburban propane water heater.
In windy although I would say moderately windy conditions when I turn on the water heater I get a propane LP alarm. I've tried other appliances stove and furnace in same conditions no alarm so its definitely...
Hey guys, so I’m super stumped about what is wrong with my electric portion of my hot water heater. Randomly went out the other day and I replaced the element as well as the thermostat but still nothing. Next is the switch on the water heater itself but that’s the last option I could think of...
Our 2022 Salem FSX smt260rt heater is continuing to have issues, has been in the shop twice due to heater issues. Heater sail switch has been replaced once and now the same problem is back furnace will fire & heat to temperature but when the thermostat calls for heat the furnace start and shuts...
I can’t get my hot water tank to light on propane. When I’m at the tank I hear the valve open and can smell propane but don’t hear it try to light. The water tank works just fine on electric.
I’ve tried all the gas appliance in the trailer and the all work fine.
Any ideas??
We own a 2016 Coachmen Freelander Micro 20 CB. One of the cheap plastic valves on the water heater is leaking. The water lines use a clamp that I cannot remove. I called Colerain about serving the unit vend they stated August was the earliest they could get me in,
Any ideas on how to...
