water heater

I have a new Wolf Pup 16HE. I drained the water heater after we used it New Years weekend. ( we had just bought it). What is the proper procedure to refill it, before turning it on to prevent burning up the heating elements? I assume that I open the valves at the heater, then open the faucet...

I own a 2020 Cherokee Grey wolf 264BH and I am familiar with running my suburban water heater on gas but I can’t seem to switch to electric. I am aware of the black on/off switch in the bottom left corner of my outside water heater unit, but there is no secondary switch on the inside of the...

Not sure if the excess salt can cause any issues down the road (pun intended).

I just bought a slightly used 2021 Puma. When I got it home and plugged it in. As I was washing the trailer I noticed the water heater door was warm. I checked and the electric switch in the water heater was on. There was no water in it as it was winterized. I released the pressure valve...

I had a good one, but lost it. This time I’ll tape it to the water heater cover. Thanks in advance.

2018 Leprechaun, Atwood 6 gallon water heater. White smoke coming out of back, smells like electrical plastic melting. It is under backside of water heater that looks like a control box. Anyone have this experience. Did not blow circuit but I shut everything down.

This past week I replaced the anode rod on my eight month old Forest River Vibe’s Suburban hot water heater. I flushed the tank out before replacing the anode rod.

Hello All, I have a 2020 Wildwood X-Lite 263bhxl. My water heater is propane only from what I can tell. Does anyone know specifically how this water heater works? I can’t find a water heater storage tank anywhere. I do get hot water, but I don’t get even enough hot water to take a shower. I...

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?

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...

I have a 2013 Jayco Swift RB185 travel trailer with a small Atwood water heater. The pilot light has a large yellow flame. The unit works fine, but I know something is not quite right. Any idea how much it should cost for me to bring it in to a Jayco dealer to fix? I don't want to get...

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...
