    Water Leak near hot water heater

    I have a small leak. I only see water when we take a shower. It's not much water and it seems to just be under the small board that is under the water heater. I have tightened all the connections that I see. Any ideas on where else I should look? Thanks, Mark

    Descaling the hot water tank

    What is the best way to get the white vinegar into the hot water tank? It seems that my 2018 Force HD ts37 does not have a winterization kit on it, or I can't find it if it does. Thanks

    Wind blowing on hot water vent

    We are currently in Tucson and there is a very strong wind that is blowing directly towards our exterior hot water vent. We have no other visitors next to us on that side to help block the wind. When I semi-block the vent from the wind, it operates fine. Does anyone know of a vent cover I...

    Trying to get Sunseeker hot water to fill

    I have a new sunseeker and cannot get the hot water to work, I think because there is a valve closed for winter. I know there are some threads about this, but I cannot find the valve.

    2020 Leprechaun 260DS Hot water tank access

    I spoke with the dealer and they told me that I would need to undo the screws for the cover inside the coach to access the hot water tank (for winterizing, the switch for the bypass on the tank). I found that another way of doing it, (easier for me, and less chance of messing up the screws), was...

    I have an Atwood hot water heater. The 6 gallon tank is made out of aluminum. I have heard mixed opinions if I really need to use a magnesium anode rod. It came with just a poly type plug and I was told that would be just fine since the tank is aluminum. I used an actual anode this past...

    Hot water issue

    I'm having issues with getting hot water in our showers when running the generator. Could it be that my propane is off from the winter and I just need to turn the propane tank on? Or does the Gas Water Heater need to be turned on the monitor panel? It is a 2019 Forest River Georgetown 36b5
