water heater

I have a 12 gallon quick recovery water heater. In the excitement of receiving it last fall and setting it up this spring I neglected to ensure the heater tank had water in it before powering up the camper. So I wasn't expecting the electric element to work. I've been using it on propane this...

Spending way more time working on it than using it. Someone stop me from lighting a match and walking away. Latest problem; the water heater pilot light would not light. Replaced the pilot line/thermocouple assy. No dice. Replaced the main gas valve. Now the pilot lights when you hold down...

Does anyone have any idea how many gallons the hot water heater on this rig holds?

I just changed out my old Girard Gen 1 Tankless WH for a Furrion model with digital temperature control. While researching just which one to buy I learned something Id Never heard before. They need to be decalcified. The burner, heating the water so fast so hot, causes calcium in the water...

Ive been very disappointed with the Girard Gen1 WH in our camper. It can work perfectly or other times it can alternately scald and freeze you. After much research and thought I bought the Furrion Tankless WH. Up to 2.4 GPM heated up to 125 degrees and settable digitally at whatever outlet...

We just purchased a 2021 37dll and we are wondering on how the 10 gallon hot water heater performs when taking a shower? How long of a shower can you take without running out of hot water? Our old trailer had a 5 gallon tank without rapid recovery and we were forced to take military showers...

Knock-off anodes are 2/$15 on Amazon; Suburban anodes are $25-$30. It's an aluminum (or magnesium) rod with a steel core. How could they possibly be different?

My fiancé and I just bought a 2016 Salem cruise lite by forest river. Underneath my water heater is a little hose that is dangling that I can’t seem to get to stop leaking. We are living in the camper full time and don’t want to have to keep turning the city water off just to stop the leak. Does...

I am looking to replace my OE water heater with a propane tankless model. Any recommendations for the best replacement model? Thanks!

Apparently, my pilot light issue (won't stay lit when you switch gas valve from "Pilot" to "On") is pretty common for the SIT-610 AC3 gas valve for Suburban water heaters. Rather than just replacing the gas valve, I figured it would be a good time to ditch the pilot and upgrade to electronic...

I'm replacing the controller board for the 6 gal Suburban (SW6D) in our 2018 Rockwood A213HHWESP. My question is if there's some reason that the board is not secured as originally mounted in the unit? Essentially, the board just sits inside its plastic housing and the housing is screwed to a...

Hi all! Our hot water heater busted during the big freeze back in January. I need to replace it. Can you tell me how to find out what model I need? Thanks!

2 camping trips into my first motorhome (2021 FR3 32DS), so I may have a few questions, but I'm going to start with the water heater -- I have hot water and don't have to turn on a switch. When I turn on the switch, it seems to kick on the propane -- Is it maybe electric or propane tankless and...

We have had hot water from the first time we hooked up the camper. Nothing changed we have it running on gas only and didn't run out of gas. But now it will to not ignite. And when I decided to switch to electric the breaker trips Everytime so no hot water. I have no idea what to do. Can someone...

I have a Rockwood Roo with a suburban water heater. Since I bought it used years ago the electric element has never worked. Today I bought a new element and installed it. I need clarification on how to turn the electric element off. I had the shore power connected and the small black switch...

I have a still under warranty 2021 Coachmen Freedom Express 20SE (Select Edition). [This is basically the same as the discontinued higher level 204RD with some items stripped out to lower the price point]. It has a Dometic WH-6GEA water heater. It was working at the beginning of our trip...

Brand new to forum but have lurked here for some time. I've looked high and low and can't find how to access the hot water tank bypass valves on my 2021 16fqbl. Not wanting to winterize at this time, just gathering all the info I can on our new RV. Thanks!!

Would love to hear feedback from people about replacement water heaters. We own a 2012 390BH60 with a first generation Gerard water heater. In my opinion this thing is a piece of crap and never should have been installed in the first place In the 9 years we have owned.the unit, this water...

Finally upgraded to a travel trailer after 20 years of tent camping, picked up my new Coachmen Apex Nano with a Dometic (formerly Atwood I believe) 6 gallon gas/electric water heater last month. The water heater worked fine in the driveway before we left but would not fire during our first trip...

I have a 2020 Rockwood Mini lite 2109S and can not get the hot water heater on the propane side to work while camping above 4500ft. Manual says it needs to be derated. What have you done to have this done or what is the solution? Suburban model SW6DELC Hot Water Heater

Just recently bought this second hand and am struggling with the manufacturers documentation. The water heater works but the water is just warm. Definitely not hot water. I cannot find any documentation that describes how I troubleshoot or how to adjust the water temp. Any pointers would...

Good Morning Everyone, So I have a brand new 304BH with the suburban water heater. As most trailers come with 20lb'ers from the dealer I quickly ran empty back in late April, and wanted to switch to 30lb'ers anyway. So the water heater functioned normal till I ran out of gas. Then it wouldn't...

We just bought our forestriver t263bhxl and have no clue how to get the water heater going. We watched the supplied video but it does not show enough information for new comers. We need a step by step explanation. I would appreciate any help !

Brand new 2020 Salem CruiseLite trailer. All propane alliances work except water heater. Water heater pilot lites, burner seems to start but shuts down 5-10 minutes after starting. Fresh water tank is 1/3 full. But no hot water comes out of any faucet or shower. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

My problem: the Micro Monitor panel in the bathroom for measuring battery and tank levels is not functioning at all (no lights)- neither is the water pump or water heater that are control mounted to the same wall. Details: I have a 2020 Coachmen Apex Nano 194BHS. We had it winterized by the...
