water heater

We were out camping this weekend and started celebrating too early. This would have been the first time our 2021 17JG Wolf Pup didn't have something break while camping in 2 years. Until 2 days before our trip was done... then I couldnt turn off the water heater. Better than not being able to...

Hello all. Just bought our RV and having a little problem with the hot water not wanting to come out. My hot water heater turns on and fires up. Is hot from the outside. Runs for a bit and turns off. Water is running from fresh water supply. But I am not getting any hot water from my faucets. I...

I have a 2021 Rockwood Ultra Lite with a Suburban water heater (Model SW6DELC) that is leaking on both the inlet and outlet lines. I have tried to hand tighten but still leaks. Could I put teflon tape on fittings to help stop leak or will I need to purchase new fittings. On another note...

Helpful People Just looking to flush out the water system and raised up the bench lid and found a clear plastic hose unattached and nothing visible that it should be attached too. What is it? Should it be attached and where? My orientation consisted of me and the manual - delivered during the...

I am out remote camping and would like some help... please I have a Suburban SW6DE water heater that is not working on LP. The burner does not stay lit. When the switch is turned on the igniter clicks but the burner does not burn so at least the DC electric is getting past the overheat...

My Hot water has a rotten egg smell so I wanted to flush out the hot water heater and remove scale with Vinegar. I have the Atwood GC6AA-10E water heater. It is suppose to be a 6 Gallon Tank. After draining all the water out using the drain plug I started to fill it with a 50 - 50 Mix of...

Good afternoon everyone.. I just bought a 2005 Roo a month ago and I was able to take it out this weekend. I noticed there was a lot of rust in the hot water so I figure its junk. The inside cabinet door says SW6P for the type of water heater. But it does have electric start on the wall.. If im...

Hey guys... I've got the water heater listed above. The burner will not light. I've followed the troubleshooting procedure contained in the library here on FRF. I have the "Water Heater Lockout-Gas present but no spark" condition. I followed the procedures listed to troubleshoot the fault...

Hello all, My water heater is probably on its last leg. It's 6-gallon Suburban heater, and I hear it's rather straight forward to replace it. My question is however: can one subtitute the current 6-gallon model for a 10-gallon model? Is the 10-gallon much bigger, or are the connections so...

Hi all, we were pleasantly surprised that our new Wolf Pup 14CC has a tankless water heater. Apparently that's new for 2023, the 2022 we walked through at the RV show didn't have it. One thing the manual seems to have missed out on is the finer points of the control panel. It doesn't tell you...

Had water heater on and working just fine for three days when all of a sudden the propane warning alarm came on. Shut everything off and aired out the camper. Next day I turned the heater back on and after six hours of operation it did the same thing. We turned all gas and power to the heater...

I have a 2020 29VBUD. When I winterized last year I noticed that the anode rod needed replaced. I dewinterized, put in the new rod. Now I only have hot water with gas, no electric. Ideas? It goes in for service in a month or so and I'll mention it to the tech just not sure if that us covered...

Before I get the obligatory "read through the form" reply....I did. Had a question on a post but it was too old to reply to. :) I found on a post the access to the water tank on my model is through the passthrough access, but the pic someone posted (attached) shows the panel removed and the...

I just purchased a 22 378fl live in it for work. Can anyone help me out? I trying to figure out why the water heater is using propane instead of electric. Ive been in it for 2 months and I’ve already burned a full tank of propane. I don’t want it using propane. Any help is appreciated

Hello, new member here. I have an issue with my Suburban water heater in my 2018 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite not creating an arc to ignite the propane. I can ignite it with a long lighter and it’ll burn perfectly, but shuts off after about 5 seconds as if it thinks it’s not lit. I’m...

Greetings All, We have a 2019 Reflection 337 RLS. I am at the very beginning stages of tracing down this issue, but thought I'd lob the quandary out to all of you as a means to maybe curtail some of the investigating (not being lazy, just an attempt at being efficient :)) Last night, I...

2016 36 ckts water heater will not ignite Dsi fault light comes on. Propane full. Pushed a reset button on computer board no results. Seems no ignition/spark so it shuts down 8/26 all worked fine Thanks

So I was changing the anode rod, and flushing out the tank. I believe I got some water in the burner area. When I was testing it out, it would ignite, and immediately shut off. I tool the flame tube off to get a look inside, and at the flame sensor, when I saw the water inside the burner. I...

Anyone know what this electronic device is? It is connected to the water heater.

Beginner’s question re Solaire 205ss model If I have city water connected can I assume that the water heater tank is filled and that, therefore, it is safe to turn on the water heater? Thank you. Craig

Hello all, New 22 GeorgeTown 36B5 owner, while out camping last week a buddy said I needed to drain the two water heaters after every trip. Is this the case? Also is it as simple as turning off the propane, disconnecting the water source and turning on the faucet. Thanks for your insight.

Has anyone tried to use a portable hot water heater with the 12RK? I am more interested in hooking up the hot water heater to the unused sink handle. I haven't dug around under the sink to see what that looks like. Might be a simple connector. Kurt

Anyone have any ideal why the water heater breaker is tripping? I am not using the water heater. All switches are OFF for the water heater. I am plugged into my house outlet for shorepower. If i turn the breaker on it trips My house breaker. Is it because i am plugged to my home shorepower and...

We have a 2017 Forest River FR3 30DS. We have done some work on the water heater and it is working properly. I am confused, though, on what the buttons on the Convenience Center do...does the "Water Heater On" button ignite the propane? Does the "Tank Heat" only heat the water in the hot...

Finally used the water heater on our 2318G. Noticed that the area above the water heater (outside of camper) gets very hot, practically too hot to touch. I'm a bit concerned as the vinyl overhang from the dinette rests there. Is this normal? Any way of adjusting the flame? (Which I suspect...
