Hello everyone! First post is out of necessity! I recently purchased a Berkshire XLT43A and on our first trip I'm getting an ignite failure for the water heater. About 5 days ago when I did the walkthrough with the tech it worked just fine. Now when you turn the switch on with no water running...

Hey guys, so I’m super stumped about what is wrong with my electric portion of my hot water heater. Randomly went out the other day and I replaced the element as well as the thermostat but still nothing. Next is the switch on the water heater itself but that’s the last option I could think of...

I can’t get my hot water tank to light on propane. When I’m at the tank I hear the valve open and can smell propane but don’t hear it try to light. The water tank works just fine on electric. I’ve tried all the gas appliance in the trailer and the all work fine. Any ideas??

Trying to figure out the purpose for the on/off toggle attached to the water heater accessed from outside, and the on/off 'Water Heater' toggle on the inside control panel. Someone told me the inside controls the propane and the outside controls the electric. 2006 Lexington 283.

when I turn on the electric switch inside with the outside switch on as well water heater turns to gas operation. I started a search for the problem by checking the breaker which is good. Then I checked ohms on heating element also good. Checked inside switch and outside switch also good ohms...

Hello All, Looking at doing the initial sanitization of the freshwater system. Manual and many other sources mention bypassing the water-heater. On the 257 BHS that looks to be challenging as the access to the back of the water heater is so far back behind the outdoor sink (pics attached)...

Trying to replace the Suburban water heater in my 32DS. I've got the heater loose, but can't pull it out because of the water lines. Can't get at the connections in the back. So I'm trying to disconnect the hot and cold water lines at the side by the shutoff valves. Unscrewed the two plastic...

I have a 2004 Cherokee travel trailer, Model 29A, and I filled the water tank and got water to the sink and the bathroom and shower. However, the water is not getting to the water heater. I do not know where the access panel is to turn the valves. The heater is in the front left side, and...

I just checked our 2021 2608BS after the dealer winterized it and the hot water heater valves were set like this. Do they both need to be turned in for the hot water tank to fill and be used? Thanks.
