water heater

I have a Suburban SW6DEL water heater in a 2018 Rockwood 5th wheel. Quite often when the heater goes to fire up on gas, you hear the clicking noise of the igniter then after a couple seconds a woof sound of the gas being lit. But it blows itself out. This can happen 2 or 3 times in a row. Some...

Anyone ever replaced their camper water heater with an 110v house electric water heater? Seems it should work for a smaller 26' camper. Ours just got a leak in the tank, I'd like to replace with the electric tankless, so I don't have to worry about corrosion and anode rodes and such...

New RV'er... I only get MORE confused when searching Forest River website/manual... I do not know where the water heater is located OR how to set-up the water heater once at the Campground. I have a 2015 Forest River Grey Wolf Toy Hauler (27RR) and would to have hot water in the mornings ...

hello all, when emptying my water heater today, I noticed alot of calcium come out, so I figure it's time to de-calcify it. in order to do the 50/50 mixture of vinegar, or as I like to call it, pirate bleach, how large is the water heater, I assume ~6-10 gallons? thanx

We have a 2020 2500rl. We have the hot water heater on electric and the hot water is coming out of the cold water side of the faucets. All faucets ( bathroom, shower and kitchen). The water hose is not in the shade so it’s not just the hose getting heated by the sun. It happens at night too. It...

Hello, I am not new to camping or campers, but new to a camper with a hot water heater. Wildwood 2014 27RKSS I am better with pictures (if possible) My questions: I have read forums about the rotten water smell. My camper is on a permanent site and has never been driven on the road...

I am new to owning 2021 R16FQ. I am reading about draining the hot water heater. I have a Hot Water Low Drain next to my Cold Water Low Point Drain. Does opening a hot water faucet, my pressure relief valve and the Hot Water Low Point Drain empty my hot water heater? Or do I still have to open...

Howdy, Checking the anode for the first time. We have had our RV for a few years now and didn't even know there was a rod....ok dumb on me. I am going to assume the rod will be degraded and need to be replaced bit a am curious about the tank How do you know if it is degraded and how much...

Hey All, thanks in advance for any assistance. I have a 377RLBH and have lost all hot water pressure. Cold water pressure is good, but when I switch to hot, nothing. Any suggestions? I don't recall changing any valve settings, but that may be a factor. Thanks again -

There are many new owners of travel trailers and learning the ins & outs of maintaining the unit is typically an adventure. While I am not a new RV unit owner, I am still learning what is necessary to keep the unit on the road & viable. Well I learned a new (to me) need my 2018 Wildwood...

Hello, I am new to RVing. Recently purchased a 2017 Rockwood Roo 233S, which was lightly used previously. It has mostly sat. Overall everything seems to be in good condition. Picked it up 2 days ago. I plugged into the generator, and into a water hose to the city water connection. I...

Hi , I am in the process of trying to revive my 2006 Rockwood HW 256. When I shut it down and covered it up 4 years ago everything worked including the hot water. I am hooked up to the city water ( low pressure) and electricity. Both water lines seem fine into the sink. The gas flow...

Just picked up a loaded 2013 FWC Eagle (sink, stove, heater, outdoor shower, 6 gallon water heater, 20ga water tank, 3-way fridge) and put it on my 3rd gen tacoma. Very excited about it, have already taken it out a couple times. Before the Eagle became available to me, I was about to put a...

Good day to all. This is my first week of ownership. 2021 Roo 23fk. I have searched the forum before posting this thread. I am big time confused! I know that when I attach a city water hose and fill, it will fill the 6 gal heater tank and I am not to turn on the electric "on" switches before...

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...

My Atwood water heater worked great. In fact, it sounded like the afterburner on an F-15 fighter jet. Until one day it suddenly didn't. I went outside so see if I had any flame at all. I did but it was a lazy, yellow, sooty flame. This happened quite suddenly, within the span of a few hours. I...

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...
