hot water

Hello:) I am a new owner of a Forest River DLX 40FDEN park model RV. I have a Airexel/ Suburban 10 gal tank hot water heater which is leaking from underneath the styrofoam encasing. I have tried various things but the consistent thing that makes it leak is plugging it in; whether it's on by-pass...

We have a 2017 Prism 2150LE, and have yet to find the water pump. Have not had a problem, but would like to know how to access just in case. Some people have said theirs is under the shower & accessed through removing panels in the rear storage compartment, or under the grill below the oven. As...

My 2019 384MB has a Teflon nut to drain the H/W tank. Behind the plug us nothing. I thought all hot water heaters had a sacrificial anode that should be checked yearly. Am I missing something here? Thanks

Why would my hot water heater (Suburban 10gal) have a buzzing sound when the hot water is turned on???? It’s a noise that is coming directly from the heater itself.... While wife was showering I went out to the heater and removed the cover and the sound is coming from inside the heater...

First and foremost, this is my first rv.. I moved in 4 days ago, and this is like a foreign language. The question tonight is how do I know if my hot water heater has electric or propane? Trying to decide because this is the first time I've tried to heat it up to take a shower and while there...

Just realized that my hot water heater element (Suburban SW12DE) is bad. Ive never replaced one and it looks very easy to do. My question is, do I ha e to drain the tank or can this be done without draining the tank?

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

Hi everyone, Kind of struggling at the moment! 1. - very low water pressure (water coming out all faucets at maybe 1/4 of flow rate of what it should be) I can't see any leaks. Pump is kind of erratic and loud. We are currently in Arizona so pipes not frozen. Any help gratefully received!

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

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...

Newbies. Out for first time in our roo 235s ( 3 pop outs) and cannot get hot water. What are we missing ?? It would be nice if the trailers came with a manual like cars do 😕. Our walk through basically said flip a switch... yup, not working. Really would like to be able to take a hot shower.

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. There is an outside cabinet for adding antifreeze and tried turning those valves but this does not help. I don't...

My Girard tankless hot water heater kicks on when I flush the toilet but not when i use any other cold water. This is new and hasn’t happened in the past. Anybody have this happen on a FR legacy?

I will be doing some camping in December/January and I want to ask about HWH operation. I have Electric & Propane, but I normally use electric at all times when camping (propane only for emergencies or quick hot water demand. Is safe to leave HWH ON all night to prevent low temperatures from...

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...

So my CAMCO brand plug failed out of the blue about 9 months after changing it. I saw water dripping out of the metal outside door of my hot water heater, opened it, and 2-3 tiny holes in the top of the plug were spraying water out 3-4 feet. (We were on city water with normal pressure.) Would...

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...
