    Hello all. I'm new to the forum. I'm a fairly experienced camper but amateur camper owner. I purchased a (single-owner) 2011 GS Visa 23bhd in 2020.

    Water Heater Insulation

    I just bought a 2021 Geo Pro 16BH and the foam insulation on the water heater looks strange like maybe it melted at some point. Any insight you can offer? https://1drv.ms/i/s!AvStLR7eqJbD8d0F7q8Rj0MhHHTp4A?e=xhjdgH

    Good Day All: we have a 2024 Primetime Avenger two wheeler, and I am trying to winterize it using the anti-freeze method.

    Why Cover Water Heater?

    It's that sad time of year again when everyone is winterizing and getting ready to leave the campground for the season. I always see a number of people put plastic in behind the cover for the water heater, and have to wonder why? In my mind, the cover is designed to shed water, the heater is...

    Atwood water heater

    When I took my Atwood water heater out of my 2401W to have a leak fixed, I noticed that around the mounting plate there are slots along the edge of the plate. It seems to me that these would allow water to enter the coach and cause rot. The wood all around the opening was rotted and I had to...

    Winterizing GSWH-2 Tankless Water Heater

    My experience is with a 6gal water heater which you have to isolate from the hot water system and drain for winterization. If I am reading the manual for the GSWH-2 correctly, all I have to do is leave it in line and flush the system with non-tox at every hot faucet. Am I right?
