    I have a 2020 HW 277 and the hot water stopped working on a recent trip. When I got home I tried to figure out why.

    Not so hot water

    Have a 2018 Cruise Lite 171 RBXL. The water heater is propane only. It fires up and heats the water but does not maintain temp for long. Water that is hot at night is barely tepid in the morning.

    Hot water heater

    Changed out my anode rod the other day and now I am unable to get hot water on electric...switched to gas and everything works just fine. Checked my fuse and breaker and no problems...could the on/off switch on the unit itself have gone bad? Any ideas?!
