Have a 2022 forest river Forrester classic 2441ds when I turn on electric switch and the propane switch on the control panel it’s bogging down the generator (Onan 4000) trying to figure out is the a no no but generator has about 22 hours on it and runs the ac and other things just fine.

Upon arriving at another campground I notice the HW heater lower portion separated from the silicone on the lower flashing trim area. I can not move the HW heater in or out and I see no real area where the trim flashing is differant.
2022 FR East to West Alta - realized this past week that we hadn't switched on the hot water switch. We had the propane on and had used the stove once or twice. We realized we had hot water minutes after setting up yet hadn't hit the switch. Do these water heaters also run on electric?
Woke up Sunday to wet feet when I stepped out of bed. Found water was coming from the water heater. I think a slow dribbling but when hooked to city water for two days it was a fair amount. Today, I could not exit the RV door. Had to climb through the truck door. After finding a star bit and...
What has people's experience been with the cab (engine driven) airconditioner and heater in the 2023 30DS with Ford chassis?
On our trip, the cab air conditioner worked great in the mornings but was producing warm air in the afternoons when the outside temperature was in the 90's. Turning the...
Hi, I have a 2017 Forester MBS with an Atwood GC6AA-10E water heater. Our last trip we didn't have any hot water (LP or electric) and have since been trying to debug what is the cause for both sources to go out at "maybe" the same time.
I checked the breaker and even reset it, that didn't...
We don't connect to shore power often. I have noticed when I have connected to shore the last two times, the water heater makes a barely noticeable noise. It's a bit of a gurgling but hard to really describe. Either way, this gurgling stops after 5-10 minutes.
I also noticed a small puddle of...
Anyone need parts from a Girard model GSWH-1M tankless heater? It quit on me on day 2 of a week long vacation. It does not try to light (no flame) and I have no idea what is wrong with it. After many days of ice cold showers we decided to replaced it with a model 2GWHAM. We hated the whole...
I'll do my best to explain. I removed the case for the front heater and found that the opening in the case for the rear duct had been opened. The opening for the front duct had not been opened. What is the groups opinion on opening it completely, opening up the center to half full diameter or...
Typo...title..WATER HEATER. I am remodeling my interior. I have 2021 towable with a 6 gallon gas water heater, I want to enclose the area in the back corner where the water heater unit sits. Of course, it is attached thru the exterior wall and all the gas operating portion is outside. Just...
Hello everyone and thank you in advance for your help! This is my second information request and this site has been amazing so far!
I have a suburban water heater that has not been able to heat water using propane since I bought the camper. I have fixed the electric successfully and at least...
I'm sure it's been done and I'm looking at ripping the U dinette out of my 2301 and replacing it with a couple theater seats. Whoever invented the U dinette should be forced to sit in one for a month.
But before I do I'd like to get input from anyone who has already done this. How did you...
Hello. Our Truma heater on board our 2021 Isata 3 is throwing what appears to be Error code 25 with red light flashes s-s-s-l-l-s-s-l. The round control knob when set at comfort or eco shows solid orange, and the heater circ pump comes on, which would normally be the precursor to...
I have been running my hot water heater on electric at the campground we are at currently. All of a sudden I am just getting warm water. I turned off the electric and used propane. Hot water is now “hot”!
Am I looking at a new heating element?
Thanks!
I don't know if this came from the manufacturer or the dealer which is RV Ready in SoCal. This dealer has high ratings on Google but I have had nothing but problems with them, at least for a first time RV buyer this dealer is the absolute worst, they fit rate into that whole 'used cars salesman'...
I have a '21 Cherokee grey wolf 26DBH, our last trip halfway through, the rocker light started to stay on even after it was lit and heated up.
We were smelling gas so we turned it off and waited tried again same thing happened. We located the source of the leak, the propane switchover valve...
So the water heater on our unit I noticed a few months into ownership that the frame around the water heater was pealing away from the side of the motorhome! The silicone was all torn along the bottom and there was like 3/8" gap. I removed the cover plate to access the water heater better and...
Hi,
Just bought my first trailer, a 2018 Forest River Salem 27RKSS. The documentation is a little sparse and the previous owner could not answer these water heater related questions.
1.Where is the water heater bypass valve? I've looked everywhere and cannot find it.
2.If there is a heater...
Hey everyone,
I’m new to the camper world and cannot get the electric water tank heater to produce hot water to save my life. The camper has the suburban sw6de heater. I have changed the heating element thinking that would have fixed the issue. The camper is at a campsite with electrical...
First camping trip in our 2023 Freedom Express 192RBS ….filled the fresh water turned on pump and no cold water. Hot water coming out of both sides in bathroom and kitchen. A lot of air in the lines also. We were told it was ready to go.
The hot water tank appears filled as we are getting...
My Atwood water heater had a fire and melted a bunch of the wires. I haven't torn into it yet, but based on the damage being above the air inlet to the burner tube, I'm guessing I'll find bugs or cobwebs in the burner tube.
Is anyone familiar with what type of damage might have been caused...

We're just getting familiar with our RV. Is this normal?
We're in a nonelectric campsite in our Flagstaff E-Pro e15TB. The hot water heater holds 6 gallons. I washed a few dishes at 6 PM. I used the hot water, but started washing as soon as the water started running. I used about 2 quarts of...
