water heater

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...

Cottage model Water heater works fine but is rusting at bottom of water heater. Is the water heater close to failing?

Bought a brand new 2024 Imagine 2670mk in November from a dealership, they had winterized it. Bring it home and get everything situated before taking out. Took out last weekend and have no hot water. It is a furrion tankless heater. I have tried several solutions I found online and none have...

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 just bought a new Palomino Puma 27RLSS travel trailer, I would like to upgrade the tank water heater with a tankless water heater. What would the users here recommend for a replacement? Thanks in advance.

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...

Hello Friends I hope you can help me on this one. Im New to RV world. I used our RV for the first time in Winter. 2019 Sunseeker MBS 2400S. Ive never winterized it since we bought it new. I drove it from Vegas to Lake Tahoe last week. It was about 16 degrees in Lake Tahoe, we stayed in a motel...

Hello, first time posting to this forum. I have read many of the threads and posts on my problem (Propane heats, 120v does not). I'm stumped.. 2021 Forest River Salem 27RE Water Heater: Suburban SW6DEL Replaced element, switch and 120v side thermostat assy Things I've checked and current...

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...

My dad just bought a 2011 Thor Tuscany 42RQ and the guy he bought it from did not give a lot of instructions so I joined as I am having to help him get it all set up. When we turn the Water Heater electric switch on, sometimes it throws the fault light on. The light for the water heater switch...

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...

I need to replace our 2003 Atwood Mod GC10A-4E, 10 gal water heater with another combination electric/gas auto ignition water heater. Could someone who has successfully accomplished this type of upgrade share where to find newer water heater manufactures that cross reference older Atwood models...

We recently purchased a Entegra Accolade 37k. During the walk through we were told that we had an inline water heater. Needless to say that is not the case. I noticed the burner going on recently without any demand for hot water. We actually have a Dometic WH-10GEA. We did not receive a user...

Hello there ... I have a 2015 5th wheel Puma. Our first time out this weekend, all systems were a go. I did notice hot water capacity was a little low... Wondering if this unit can be upgraded to a bigger unit, if there is even an room ?

Hello all, I have a 2020 2109s Rockwood Mini Lite. It has a Suburban water heater model # SW6DELC. I would like to sanitize my water system, but I cannot find a water heater bypass. Does anyone know where it might be hidden? Or if there is not one, how do you sanitize the fresh water tank and...

I recently purchased a 2018 FR3 DS30 50 Amp version. My previous RV was a 2016 FR 2401WDS so I am reasonably familiar with the Forest River systems. My hot water heater in the 2401 could be used as either electric heating or propane by turning on the appropriate switch on the convenience...

Hello I have a 2024 Salem hemisphere 291rl just winterized it and didn’t notice a drain for my water heater, I’m a bit confused some specs I see says it’s tankless others says it has a 10 gal tank so I just pulled antifreeze through the siphon hose directly to pump after I blew out all lines...

So, the original thought was that I had busted a pipe fitting. And began the process of looking for the broken junction. While trying to mitigate the water leakage that was slowly invading the trailer. Only to finally learn - that it wasn't a pipe - but appears to be the water heater, itself...

Hi all. Propane sniffer detected a leak where the propane enters the pilot tube. Anyone when know why?

I have a cedar Creek 40 CFL, the previous owner put in a 10 gal electric water heater, just like the one I have in my house only smaller. Would this mean he did away with the original gas/electric water heater and repiped it. Thank you

Hey all, Finishing up 1st season in a new apex nano Travel trailer.. our previous motorhome didn’t have a zinc anode in the water heater but this does. Removed it today and this is what I found— I was surprised to see that much of it sacrificed. I have no frame of reference and wondering if...

Following information in a thread several years old, I have been able to successfully drain my BW hot water tank each year. However this afternoon when I opened the pressure relief valve, I only got less than a half cup of water out, dribbling very slowly. The only thing I can think of that I...

I purchased a 2013 Greyhawk 31DS a couple of weeks ago. Not being entirely familiar with winterization I took it to an RV dealer to have it winterized. I'm the fourth owner of the coach and the original owner swapped out the stock instant water heater for a Suburban SW5DEL 6-gallon water...
