    Tank heaters 24JS

    2020 24JS campfire package, I am assuming my year doesn’t have tank heaters. I do not see a switch saying I do. Has anyone used them or installed them? Also; does the propane heat keep the floor warm and help the tanks? I read some TTs do and was wondering if this model does.

    Water Heater Flush

    When I pulled the anode/drain on the water heater today I got quite a bit of scale out. Decided to do a 50/50 white vinegar/water soak overnight before I finish winterizing. I rigged up a quite stand pipe (see picture) into the anode/drain. It's 3/4" FNPT thread so a 3/4" MNPT x SOC adapter...

    Diesel parking heater. I love these things, about the size of a loaf of bread. Exhaust pipe, combustion air intake, and fuel lines are plumbed out the bottom of the unit. They make very dry comfortable heat and are extremely efficient. Need 12V to run the fan, pump, and glow plug. Fuel pump is...

    Love me a diesel parking heater. Installed the actual unit in a service bed box. Heat and control wire are plumbed through side of lower camper. Controller was disassembled to reroute and hide the wires, plus delete the "holster" for a sleeker install.

    Ok I have a dumb question here. I have a 2021 Rockwood 8336BH camper. I am trying to purchase a new anode rod and wonder if they are all of standard size or do I need to be cautious to find one that meets the exact specs of my camper? Looking online (amazon) it's hard to match them to a...

    Nobo 20.3 Water Heater Bypass Location

    I've searched forums and the like for any information on how to access the water heater bypass valves on my 2024 Nobo 20.3, and seems like there are plenty of posts on the 16 and 19, but nothing on the 20. I'm sure I can tear enough things apart to get at it but not even sure it HAS a bypass...

    Water Heater Relief Valve Question

    I've watched a couple of YouTube videos recently about giving the water heater a white vinegar soak and flush. Probably not a bad idea. One thing I keep seeing is people opening the relief valve to verify the fill and to vent to drain the solution. Has anyone had any problems with their...

    Tank Heaters

    Do I need to add RV anti freeze to my three holding tanks if they are equipped with heating pads? I'm assuming they function when the temperature gets below 47. That's what the FR procure says. Any way to test that dc encapsulated system? TT in my back yard with 30amp power. Better safe than...

    Heater Hold Down Bracket Warning

    This is just a warning. I have a 2021 Rockwood 2516S. The fan box hold down bracket came loose from the screw and fell into the squirrel cage shredding the fins and causing a racket. Apparently, Forest River knows about the issue and has fixed it in later versions by adding a backer board to...
