Good day. The AC portion of my Suburban Water Heater stopped functioning, although the LPG side works perfectly. The AC switch on the water heater seemed very corroded. So, I pulled it off, and it was fried on one of the two switch terminals. The trouble is, the wiring on the AC switch...

We have a 2024 Salem 24 View. Bought it about a month ago and have had a few issues but they are being addressed. Our unit has the tankless water heater with hot water on demand. The hot water keeps going cold when it's being run, which is very shocking in the shower!! Any tips or hints?

I am a full time rv'er and this evening while sitting watch TV the power goes out. I check all beakers are good and power is out for everything but the 2nd ac. I started flipping breakers and the water heater breaker when flipped to the off postion causes all power in the rv to go out. The...

Bought a brand new 26DBH-L Alpha Wolf Wednesday. We are now camping in Tennessee and the hot water heater won't heat the water up past 86 degrees in the shower. It heats the water at the kitchen sink up to 113 on the output and seems to work ok when using it. I've checked the propane system...

Hello, I have 2017 Forest River Wildwood. I'm noticing that my hot water is not lasting as long in the shower matter. If I guess it's not lasting long enough to even take a shower. So I'm realizing that maybe I need to clean out my hot water tank. Any any suggestions on this?

We have a 2022 Alta 1900 with a Suburban SW6DE water heater. I am wondering if it is always necessary to use the electric element of the water heater. I am wondering because we may be boondocking a bit and need to save electrical energy whenever possible. Does the element serve as a booster...

I did some searching but could not come up with anything on my problem. I am in the process of purchasing a 2022 Mini Lite 2511s and I had an inspection done on the unit. Really the only issue that came up from the inspection was the pictured grommet is cracked and was suggested that it needed...

Does anyone know how many watts the electric ignition draws on the Suburban 6 Gallon RV Water Heater Direct Spark SW6D water heater? I do not have the electric optional heating element, gas only. Just curious how many watts the ignition uses for the burner.

Went in to in-winterize my rig to use in a few weeks. This is a Wildwood FSX 270 RTK. After flushing lines, tanks and running plumbing to get all the anti-freeze out, I decided to test my pump. Nothing. Does not kick on, when I have water in the tank, and turn off city water. Pump switch...

I have a Wildwood FSX 270RTK I am nearly 99% certain my control module for the Suburban water heater (6gal) has gone bad. Have a new one, but do not know where I should expect to find the original one installed on the trailer? Would it be mounted next to the water heater itself? Anybody have...

Hey I'm new to full time camping, and got thrown into right before winter and didn't have time to really learn anything about my new home. Well I went to work the other morning and thought "that sounds like a lot of melting ice" and of course it wasn't, entire under belly full of water. Shut the...

I'm new to owning a travel trailer. I purchased a 2019 AmeriLite 255bh and have had it filled with water until 3 weeks ago when the hard freeze came through. I was told to drain the water lines and water heater to winterize. What I didn't know was the water heater also ran on electric, and...

I have a 2020 Cedar Creek Hathaway Edition 5th wheel (34IK.) When I'm using the RV in freezing temperatures (highs of 32-33* and overnight temperatures at 8-10*) for a couple of days in a row, should I be concerned about water freezing in the water heater overnight when I'm not using it (read...

I have a 2016 Cedar Creek Cottage travel trailer with a State 20 gallon electric water heater. Where do I purchase a new water heater ?

Happy New Year, Folks! My rig is a 2021 Palomino Solaire 217BH. My understanding is that it's best to drain the water heater tank after each outing. My question is this, how can I drain the tank without removing the water heater anode? It's a 2-gallon tank. When we get back from a trip, I open...

Howdy all. Well, my waterheater tank finally rusted through, and I'm tired of the 3-4 minute shower time. This is my fulltime home, (which I don;t recommend, lol). My idea is to build and weld an outdoor steel platform off the rear bumper, and make an enclosure for a 39-40 gallon 120v unit, to...
