    Accidentally sucked antifreeze into hot water heater

    2021 Wolf Pup 16BHS here. So, I'm pretty sure I accidentally sucked a few gallons of antifreeze into the hot water heater while winterizing it. You can probably imagine how this happened. I had drained all water out of the trailer first, including blowing it out with an air compressor so that...

    Vacuum hot water tank?

    Has anyone else used a wet vac to clean out the sediment in their tank? I just flushed ours out in the past. Last time I did, I used a bore scope to look inside. There was still a decent amount. I got a wild hair and decided to clean it. Using a 1/2” ID poly tube, I attached it to the wet vac...

    I have searched everywhere and can not find any bypass valve for our 2021 rpod 171. Crawled under the camper, looked in every drawer, cabinet, wet bath areas. I pulled the diode and the tank is dry with the water hooked up to city water. Any idea where the bypass valve is located?

    Suburban Hot Water Tank

    Hello. On our 2021, Rockwood 2511S, the Suburban Hot water tank started making a high pitch whistling type sound, sounding like a boiling whistling kettle when heating up and only while on electric. When on gas, no noise to be heard. We have been out on a few trips before and had not noticed...

    Sulphur smell... hot water tank.

    So I know I went through this at my last home. Apparently the anode (sp?) rod anodizes and starts to smell. Here's my problem. The cold and hot water through the rear bathroom smells like sulphur. If it's the anode rod, why doesn't the middle bathroom or kitchen sink smell at all? I stopped at...

    Leaving the hot water switch always on?

    In my A122, the hot water switch is in a terrible location to access, below the bench of the table. What a pain to crawl down there, sometimes with a flashlight, to turn that on at every set up. So...is it a problem to just leave it on? I don't have a battery on mine because we never boondock...
