water heater

Last winter, I was winterizing my Lexington and turned off the water heater electrically and turned off the Propane. I tried to remove the drain plug and it was so corroded that it wouldn’t come out. I rotated it back and forth and it ultimately came out. This Motorhome has only 30,000 miles...

We have a 2017 Rockwood Minilite 2507S which we love - except for one issue I can't figure out. When trying to light the water heater with propane, I can hear the ticking of the lighter, and it often won't light on the first try which includes 3 set of ticking. So, shut it off, wait 5 minutes +...

First Forest River RV and first post in the forum, so bear with me. Unfortunately, during the delivery walkthrough either the dealer did not point out the location, or I simply was not paying sufficient attention at the time. Where is the water heater bypass on the 19MBDLE? I'm taking it out...

Where is the hot water heater bypass valve in a 2020 Nobo 19.6 located and how do I get to it? Anyone have any pics?

I bought a Legend surveyor 252rlbe 2022, I been on the RV 3 weeks now, I had hot water and I never had a problem since I bought it. Yesterday I took a shower and the water was hot but started getting warm and today don’t have any hot water. I know says is gas and electric bit don’t see any...

2016 Forest River Forester 2861ds I was wondering if anyone can explain or has a photo of how the valves to the water heater should be after de-winterizing? Thanks!

Hello Berkshire Crew - I have been lifting for a while and believe I have read every thread on Berkshires here and on irv2. Wondering if anyone can help her. I had a 2016 XLT 43B inspected today and there were two issues of concern. 1. No hot water. It appears that the Atwood has already...

I have a Suburban SW10 water heater that has stopped working on the ac side. Works fine on propane. I removed the cover over the thermostats and found a burned wire. I was expecting to see the fused link broken but it was not. It has high temp discoloration but still intact. See the pic...

I need to replace my 6g suburban electric/gas water heater on my 2019 Roo 233s. I am considering replacing with a tankless hot water heater. Does anyone have experience with this type of replacement/upgrade?

I found this somewhere in the past on the forum and trying to spec parts for it now. I thought the following would work: 1/2" brass male to male adapter 1/2" braided hose appx. 12-18" in length 1/2" small cut-off valve But can I use a brass adapter fitting in the Atwood drain or should this...

Want to share an issue I had with the Furrion Tankless water heater and how it was resolved. It's been working well and then out of the blue, when turning on the hot water the control panel would beep and display E5. So, no hot water. It turns out this was right after a major rain storm...

Last night I started to hear a ratcheting noise, like a chain hoist. I went outside to find water coming out the water heater valve. I tried wiggling it to see if it just wasn't setting right but it didn't help. I turned off the water supply and that stopped the flow. I also had water coming out...

I just bought a WOLF PUP 16HE,I pulled the plug on the water heater to make sure it was dry. It wasn't. There was no anode behind the cap, is this normal, or do I have to buy one?

Went to winterize trailer after last camping trip. When I pulled the water heater anode rod to drain there was no water in tank....Where did it go????? Had hot water while camping!! Did not see any leaks under trailer. Customer service did not have an answer.

I have a 2016 XLT 43A and was going to have a Truma water heater installed but the shop that was going to do the install says they have talked with Forest River and that the propane tank is located to far from the water heater for it to work. Does this sound right ? Anybody with a 2016 XLT have...

Hey. A bit new to the whole travel trailer/camper world. I’ve had my Wildwood for about 2 months now and plan on living in it for a good while. Curious if anyone knows about replacing the current water heater with a tankless one. Specifically if it’s possible. Also if there are any...

We have a SW6D water heater in our TT and on our last trip I noticed water dripping from the back corner of the trailer. Tracked it down to the Pressure Relief valve on the water heater. It only seems to leak when the WH is hot - a while after the flame goes out it seems to stop. I looked at a...

Does anyone know what the black sealant/putty is around the side of the opening on the water heater? They didn't go up the sides at all and when I drain my water heater water goes between the seams and ends up in the storage area. Is it just black butyl tape? This is on a 2022 E-Pro E20FBS with...

My hot water is electric and gas OK it’s never worked right all the time but it works some of the time and there’s a switch on the outside to turn on and off ,I’m assuming that is the electric switch. My converter went bad so I changed it and I had hot water for three days on electric because I...

Hi, I am a bit confused on how my water heater operates. I have a suburban water heater in my A-frame. Opening the external water heater cover, there is a black soft plastic cover with 2 buttons marked for reset. And inside the trailer, there is a water heater on/off panel with a reset button...

Good Morning All, Probably a foolish question or maybe I just have never noticed. Is the electric hot water system supposed to make noise? I drained the tank in New England before I left for my trip. Put the anode back in and took off. Now I’m down in the Smokey’s using the system. It’s making...

Hey all, The hot water in my '06 RV is not lasting long. I keep the water heater cleaned of sediment and change the anode rod as needed. Would changing the water heating element be a good start to see if that is the issue? Any other suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Let me start by saying I have found a LOT of useful info in this section of the forum, but my situation seems to be a little different. When I go to turn on the water heater to use gas, the lighted switch comes on (see attached photo), but nothing else happens. What USED to happen is that the...

I'm looking for the manifold for an Atwood on-demand hot water, part number 90268. It is the red plastic part you see when the cover is removed. I know many of you that had the Atwood in your 2017 or 2018 Isata 5s replaced it with a Truama. I am hoping that someone might still have the old...

Where do I find my water heater bypass valve on my 192. Trying to google and search for location, but my googly fingers just aren't good enough to find it!!;) Thanks!!
