water heater

OK now that I figured out how to get water in the tank and had hot water (propane option) we no longer have hot water. We have tried multiple times to relight the water heater but it's just not working. We turned the stove on to make sure our propane bottles still had propane and they came on...

On our first trip out last year our hot water heater kept giving us a fault code. We'd turn it off and on and it would work. This year we got to Texas and it died and would not come back on. A mobile tech replaced the thermostat and it worked. Two weeks ago I filled water tank and water heater...

We are 1st time rv owners and are trying to figure out how every things works before we go on our 1st trip. Today we were going to test the water heater but when open the pressure release valve no water came out. We have been hooked up to city water and filled our water tank. Is it possible that...

Hi all I have a Suburban SW6DE (direct spark injection and electric element) water heater. Some time last year, I got a fault indication for the water heater on my indoor panel for the first time when I switched on the water heater. At the time, I noticed the water heater tried to ignite the...

Just thought I'd share this to see if it helps anyone. I did not like removing the plug each time after camping and the petcock drain seemed problematic to me. I have attached pics to show my solution. Simply screw in the Sharkbite male adapter (use plumbing tape on threads) and attach the...

What has to be done to operate water heater gas operation at 10,000 feet?

So I took a short overnight shake down trip in my new wolf pup. After getting everything setup I realized my hot water heater was not working. I believe it is a dometic wh-6gea. Well, got it home and did some poking around with a multimeter and found a small part to be faulty. Pulled it and...

Hello everyone, I'm a new RV'er and an owner of a Cross Trail XL 20CB. I tried using the hot water for the first time but couldn't get it to work, and not sure what is going wrong. Shore power is connected, propane is on (stove top worked), and the city water water is connected. I turned on...

I bought a 2011 Flagstaff 5th wheel. I got it used and no manual came with it. The switch for the propane heater is clearly marked on a panel in the entry. Looking up the specs on-line it says its a dual electric/propane heater, but I'll be damned if I can find a switch for the electric...

Okay so we bought a new Apex Nano 208bhs last year and I made a rookie mistake and plugged in the trailer while the heater was switched on before I added water. Of course this burnt out the element. I have since replaced the element and it is now heating. The only problem is the light on the...

I have a Mini-Lite 2504S and the flimsy panels around the water pump/water heater make it nearly impossible for my short arms to reach all the bypass valves. Do most of y’all just remove the panels and leave them off? Or cut sections out of them? Or is there a clever mod? I keep quite a bit of...

Purchased a used 5th wheel trailer that has girard demand water heater model gswh-2. Any one know how to change it over to a regular gas or electric not instant? Thanks in advance

I have a 2021 Forest river Cherokee Wolfpack 23 pack 15. The trailer was in and out of the shop multiple times for various reasons since purchasing brand new in September 2021. This is my first trailer and I have found out I should be draining the extra water in fresh water tank after each trip...

So... How do I start to use my water heater? I am hooked up to shore power and city water. I have dewinterized an put the anode tube in and turned on my propane. The water is still cold after a couple minutes. Is there a pilot light? A button? Thanks for your time and help!

Has anyone replaced a on demand water heater with a tank model . We are not happy with our on demand heater.

I have sanitized rinsed and refilled fresh water tank. after camping for a week when I drain the hot water heater, the anode tube has a slimy clear jelly like substance on it. this has happened sever times. what is happening?????

We finally got her out of the shop (full house systems check) and ran her out on a shakedown trip. All systems worked out well. We were at a full hookup site so we haven't used the freshwater holding tank yet and wanted to sanitize first. I've read a few blogs and watched a few YT videos, but I...

Does anyone know what a good on-demand replacement unit would be for a Suburban SW10DE water heater? Everything I’m finding online has smaller cutout dimensions, and is typically only for 6-gallon replacement units. Any help is appreciated!

2005 Forest River Cedar Creek 5th Wheel. Suburban Propane and Electric water heater. Electric water heater works fine. Can anyone tell me or ideally, send me a picture of where the 12V propane water heater switch might be? I can't seem to find it inside the RV. The electric side of the...

I'm stumped... Element, switch, thermostat and 110 breaker all working (digital multimeter) but I have zero power from the breaker to the switch. Anyone have some checkoffs for me to try please? Propane works great. Everything worked great last year and this year I just can't figure it out...

Hello all, We have a 6 gallon gas / electric. When there is a gentle breeze blowing it has problems lighting. You can hear the gas catch like a small explosion as it blows itself out as it catches all at once. If the wind is stronger it catches and stays lit just fine. If I hold up...

We have a new Cardinal with a on demand water heater . When in the shower and turn the temperature of the water down the heater shuts off . Has anyone had the same problem and if so what is the solution to fix it . Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone has replaced their standard tank water heater with a tankless water heater. Pros? Cons? Thanks, Russell

Some family members just bought a 2014 Wildwood #27RKSS and the only switch I can find for the water heater ignites the LP burner but I can't find a switch to run it on electric. I know it has dual capabilities because there is a 15A circuit breaker marked water heater in the panel and it has a...

Does anyone know where the water heater bypass is located on a 2022 2318g or does it have one? I checked at the water heater itself and it only has the in and out lines running to the tank.
