water heater

Recently we did a cross country trip in our DX3 from western NC to Mesa, Az (east of Phoenix) and on the first evening we hooked up the water, the water heater developed a small leak. Fortunately it was to the outside vs inside. We were able to use it for several days by turning off the water to...

Hello all, I recently bought a Girard tankless water heater (GSWH-2) and after getting everything connected it’s not turning on. I have found that the switch to turn my water heater on has 12v coming into the switch and out without the power wire to the water heater connected to the switch...

So we had a weird smell coming from under the sink where the hot water heater is at on our 2020 Puma 31bhs travel trailer. It is running in electric mode. So I looked under and the styrophoam insulation was completely melted through on part of it! See pictures. What could have caused this? Is...

My hot water heater is working but the water temp is just above luke warm. Is there a way to make the water hotter?

I removed the anode rod from my 6 gallon Suburban water heater. The anode was gone, only a small thin rod left. Gray oozing junk flowed out of the open heater. I assume this is the consumed anode. Do I need to flush the heater?

I have a 2021 Surveyor 19BHLE. it is a real pain to contort my arm and reach behind the water heater (via the removable access panel in the front storage compartment) to turn the 2 3-way bypass valves in fall and spring. I believe the water heater "compartment" back side is the wall in the...

Hi all - I have a 2017 FR Wildcat 38MBX 5th Wheel with 6 gal water heater. Like to see about upgrading the size to a 10 gal water heater. Is that feasible? I don't want a tankless water heater since we've add one on our 21 Winnebago TT installed from dealer and it was just ok - like meh...

I just had a fire in my 2020 Puma 31bhss travel trailer! Smoke started coming from under the kitchen sink so i grabbed the fire extinguisher, shut off all power, opened the cabinet where the smoke was coming from. I didn't see a flame just smoke coming from an outlet on the floor under the...

Have a 2021 FR WILDWOOD X-LITE 19DBXL trailer and taking out for first this weekend and I remember something that we had to do before starting the water heater and I can’t remember. I believe it was we to make there was water in the heater or something like that. Could I get little help. Thank...

Getting luke warm water, I turned it off and back on. I reset to 124 degrees, tried couple different faucets fairly confident we have propane (oven works and burner for tankless water heater has blue flame) On controller for tankless heater where you set temperature, it shows operating temp...

Hello, I'll start off my saying we're full timers so we use our hot water tank on a pretty constant basis. So far we're about 2 months in and been through about 3 or 4 thermal fuses. The strangest part though is that they end up being triggered while we're using electric as we rarely used...

Any owners out there know if and where a 2021 Adrenaline 21 LT water heater bypass valve is? Thanks.

I installed a dimmer switch for the interior lights over the weekend thanks to the great information on this forum but now my water heater electric switch is not working. When I pulled the panel I see that the orange wire from the middle connector on the switch came loose at the other end and...

Does anyone know where the electric water heater relay is located on a 2018 Georgetown 31R5? It doesn't matter if the One Control panel says on or off, the electric side of the water heater will not shut off. The only way to turn it off is to trip the circuit breaker or use the on/off switch...

Hello out there. I cannot for the life of me locate my water heater bypass valve. I need to bypass so I can winterize. Normally the valve is on the control panel but mine is not. It is also not located by the hot water heater itself. The location has to be this model specific as all other help...

Puma 32RBFQ TT Water Heater FRF, I'm hoping someone here can help. I currently have a Suburban 5139A/SW6DE (6 gallon) water heater installed but I'm looking to swap it out with the 5147A/SW12DE (12 gallon) model. When I lookup both models the dimensions are slightly different so I'm hoping...

Why does my 2021 Dynaquest XL Precision Plex include a 7.5 amp fuse labeled "water heater" despite all Aqua Hot power comes from a different 20 amp fuse in the electrical bay or from the AC panel. What does it control? Moreover why does the Precision Plex identify the fuse as bad when it is...

Hello, So, this week was our first stay in our 2019 Prime Time Avenger ATI 27DBS. Got the generator hooked up, propane hooked up, and everything was great... until there was a 'fire' in the hot water heater. We do not have water hooked up to the camper, and since it is approaching freezing...

Anyone else having issues with a “tankless water heater”? We are new at RVing… purchased a 2023 Cherokee Artic Wolf. And since day one we have had issues with getting hot water to last more than 3 minutes… Thank you in advance for any stories out there!

Had to replace the electric heating element ($21 locally) in our Suburban SW6DE water heater. Was actually pretty easy task especially if you have the water heater wrench that cost less than $10. Had to remove a few parts to fully access the element. Only issue I had was getting the nut...

I have a 2021 Rockwood ultra lite model 2621WS that I am trying to find the bypass for the water heater so that I can winterize the RV. I have looked all around the water heater inside the RV and can not find any valves to turn.

It is drawing time to winterize my 2022 Rockwood Roo 235s. How do I gain access to the water heater bypass valves? It seems they are under the bathroom sink but I am not sure how to remove the access panel. Thanks for any help.
