hot water

Morning. I have a Coachman 2022 Apex Ultra Light 265. Took it out for the first time this weekend and things went well except for the hot water tank. It runs on gas and I assume on electric BUT the amount of hot waters produced is less than 30 seconds worth. Details The propane fires off...

Replacing hot water heater Does anyone know what kind and size on demand hot water heater I should use for a 2015 Forest River 327 RE Heritage Glenn??

So, I know this will sound silly not to resolve but… Had our coach, FR Leprechaun winterized. Now taking it out, hot water comes out both sides of faucet (kitchen and bath). So there has to be a switch off somewhere. Didn’t see much in manual. Thanks. Tom

First time out with our 2023 Isata 5 and we can't get our Truma to work. We have watched all the video's on the valves turned the correct direction from winterizing and other trouble shooting. The Truma ignites and runs about 15 seconds then the burners kick off then it ignites again after...

Cannot get hot water on electricity or gas?? 2019 Shasta Phoenix 392BL

To alleviate the 4-minute shower time, I am wondering if anyone here has used an auxilliary tank for holding hot water? (I'm trying to increase my time to 10 minutes, lol)

I recently purchased a 2018 FR3 DS30 50 Amp version. My previous RV was a 2016 FR 2401WDS so I am reasonably familiar with the Forest River systems. My hot water heater in the 2401 could be used as either electric heating or propane by turning on the appropriate switch on the convenience...

Hi everyone. I hope I’m in the right place for this post - if I’m not, please excuse and direct me This is my first 🤭 The bathroom sink is only giving me HOT water. Kitchen is ok I have both hot & cold. I’m in a 2023 Rockwood mini lite 2516S on my 6th camping trip and have had no problems...

Hey all, Finishing up 1st season in a new apex nano Travel trailer.. our previous motorhome didn’t have a zinc anode in the water heater but this does. Removed it today and this is what I found— I was surprised to see that much of it sacrificed. I have no frame of reference and wondering if...

Following information in a thread several years old, I have been able to successfully drain my BW hot water tank each year. However this afternoon when I opened the pressure relief valve, I only got less than a half cup of water out, dribbling very slowly. The only thing I can think of that I...

Hi, While on a recent hunting trip I came back to the trailer to find the Hot Water low point drain leaking. When I tried to tighten the valve the plastic line cracked just above the valve connection. While trying to make repairs the line split. Is there a way I can replace the line myself...

I have spent a week attempting to figure out how to use the factory installed on-demand hot water, the only real way I can see this as being a viable item is if one was either hooked up to a water supply or one want to quickly drain their holding tank.. After trying all the manufactures...

I have a 2022 Forester, with a WH-6GA water heater. The water heater previously worked fine. Turning on gas or electric the switches light up but the system does not produce heat. There is propane, the stove works. There is 120 AC available, the air conditioner works. I checked the 2 amp...

I got a new Prime Time Avenger 27bbs from camping world, and I've been having hot water issues since day one. I had the RV delivered, and don't own a way to transport it, so I'd like to fix the issue myself if possible. After the RV was delivered, I hooked up all the usual connections. I went to...

Did a search but no results so am I the first one with this issue ----- Yes my first post but not new to forums or rving but new to FR Puma --- Hot water comes out for all fausets but the kitchen ... Have not taken it apart "yet" ... Was hoping someone might have an answer ... Yes, ran hot...

I should have guessed that my tank was failing. My anode rod looked new after 4-5 years. My guess/hindsight is something in the tank had acted as the anode… Thankfully it was a slow leak

We have a 2022 FR gt5. This is our first class A so we are still learning. Went on a trip in June and all was fine, as far as having hot water. Dinette slide wouldn't go out. We needed a new motor on a brand new RV! Our next trip in July, no hot water. When I try to turn the water heater...

Hello All! I’ve been trying to repair my hot water pressure and have had no luck. I wanted to post a few troubleshooting things I’ve done and see if anyone might have some other ideas. Trailer - 2019 Forest River Impression Water heater - Atwood/Dometic model #GC6AA-10E Issue - Little to no...

Hello All, I am new to this forum and need some help if possible. I have a Suburban hot water tank Model SW6 DE and it is leaking from the area you would screw in the tank plug. it is pretty rusty around the plug itself on the tank and it looks like a castle lock washer. so I am wondering if I...

Just wanting to know if anyone may have a layout picture of a Forest River Wildwood Xlite 273qbxl for the plumbing system. Just trying to insulate any areas that could be building up heat in my RV.

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!

The end of the hot water drain hose fell off. Any suggestions on how to repair it? Also is there a way to jerry rig it in the meantime, I am currently stuck in Dawson City YT and there is not a lot of parts available. I hate cold showers.

As others, I’m fairly new to the camper world and learning ways of improving, tricks, suggestions on issues or not. I want to know, is there a “correct” way to prep for hot water? Maybe I’m asking the question wrong… Before a shower I turn Hot Water switch on, igniter kicks on and usually after...

Long story, short version. No hot water problem was traced back to a rusted and corroded water heater circuit board. We own a FR3 29DS. The compartment holding the water heater & pump is right in front of the rear tires. When the coach was built a 2" hole was drilled into the compartment to run...

Hello FR forum I am a 7 year full Tim RVr. We have a 2017 FR Georgetown XL 369DS gas powered 37 foot Class A. The compartment that holds the hot water heater ( passenger side before rear axle) Is a contained unit with a hole 🕳️ on bottom with a screw on plastic cover. There is water...
