hot water

So I recently camped and used the electric option to heat water. After a few minutes I could smell what seemed like burning plastic from wires. I crawled down below the cabinets to inspect the back side of the water heater and found that the temperature of the tank/water was so hot that the...

Probably an old question but since I am new to the forum I will ask anyway and apologize upfront for not finding it on a search. I have a 2021 Forester 3041ds and the hot water is way too hot. It has already blew the diode on the wire from the thermostat and I had to get FR tech support to walk...

Hi all, My husband and I purchased a new, 2021 18BH Shasta from a local dealership two weeks ago. We took it out for the first time this past weekend and were shocked to find that our hot water heater would not work. No matter what my husband did, we could not get hot water and were stuck with...

Hi all. Picked my 2020 up Saturday and at a site now and can’t get any hot water out of any faucet/shower. Hot water tank has hot water in it coming from the relief valve and I’ve tried the 3 valves near the hot water tank (including the cross over valve). Any other valve that could keep the...

Hi all! Our hot water heater busted during the big freeze back in January. I need to replace it. Can you tell me how to find out what model I need? Thanks!

My new camper with a Dometic 6 gallon hot water heater seems to run out of hot water super fast. My previous rug had an Atwood 6 gallon and we could take normal length showers without running out. I’ve had it back to the dealer and they said everything works correct. I just did an experiment...

Every now and then I get HOT water from the cold side. We are full timers in a 2021 33ik. We went to fla in Jan then back to NE NC, now in Pigeon Forge headed to Kentucky and Ohio.

I have a 2020 Rockwood Mini lite 2109S and can not get the hot water heater on the propane side to work while camping above 4500ft. Manual says it needs to be derated. What have you done to have this done or what is the solution? Suburban model SW6DELC Hot Water Heater

Good Morning Everyone, So I have a brand new 304BH with the suburban water heater. As most trailers come with 20lb'ers from the dealer I quickly ran empty back in late April, and wanted to switch to 30lb'ers anyway. So the water heater functioned normal till I ran out of gas. Then it wouldn't...

I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. How do I clean this hot water heater plug?

The last time I had my camper out (2011 Freedom Express) I just couldn't seem to get air out of the hot water lines unless the hot water heater was off. Any other time I may get some surging and coughing from both hot and cold but it would quickly smooth out. The weird thing is it doesn't do it...

I’m getting water behind the utility cabinet on the floor behind the hot water heater. The water heater is in foam and I don’t see any leaks around the lines going into it and out of it. The water around that area is cool like fresh water. If the hot water heater was rusted and leaking wouldn’t...

HI folks, hoping to get that one pice of wisdom that helps us resolve this issue. This is for a new 2021 Imagine with the new electronic command center and control module. When we first tested the water heater, electric would not work, but the propane did. We left it on electric for more than...

I mad a huge mistake and released the pressure valve on the hot water tank while it was on. Luckily I didn't die. Now the tank is leaking. I'm guessing I will need to replace it. Does anyone know if the whole thing needs replaced or if it can be fixed by any chance?

Getting hot water but only for a few minutes. I’m new to RVing. I bought a used Rockwood Roo 23 fl. Please any help would be great thanks

I'm thinking of changing my one-valve hot water heater bypass to a two-valve system. The single valve works fine for bypassing the inlet to prevent antifreeze from entering. But recently, I noticed a foul taste coming from the water heater and bypassing it didn't prevent that water from entering...

I noticed that there is a toggle switch on each hot water tank and an electric switch on the control panel. Do I need both switches on to get hot water or does one switch control the electric heater and one switch control the propane heater? Thanks all for your input!

Good Afternoon All, I recently purchased a used 2016 Forest River Wildwood X-Lite and First time out, we hooked the water up turned on the water heater, then went to use. We noticed that all the cold taps on every faucet, including the toilet, hot hot water came out. I checked the bypass on WH...

I'm not getting hot water to my shower in the I5. I get hot water to both sinks but not the shower. The shower gets a little 'warm' but not hot. I use 'warm' generously in that it is not cold like the cold faucet. Any thoughts as to what to check?

I have a Rockwood 2015 model 3008W Windjammer camper. I recently purchased a Lippert 3 tread stair unit. Following the Lippert directions I drilled at the doorway and installed bolts for the stairs. Upon arrival at our first campground and turning on water I found I had hit the hot water line. I...

I have a 2019 2604WS. The water hearer anode is long and trying to thread it is eluding my skillset. One thought crossing my mind is to shorten it so I can more easily install it. I have to take it out to drain the tank every year so I would just replace it with another shortened one. I guess...

So I have Isata 3 series motorhome with Truma tankless hot water system. Had it winterized at camper inn, then I dewinterized it myself. Went to use it this weekend and the power was on at the panel and the dial was amber color, water heater and water pump on) and only get cold water. The...

I just got back home from first trip and boy was it eventful. The positive side of the trip is that I learned a ton about towing and about the trailer. Unfortunately, the biggest headache was the hot water heater. I could not figure out how the hell to get it to work. I could not get water...

Hi everyone, Took my Forester out for it's maiden voyage and discovered a slow, but steady drip coming from the water heater. I hadn't previously noticed it, so it could be intermittent. The culprit is this brass valve pictured here. I tried to press it in (what a [literal] hot mess!) to...
