I'm new here on this forum and have never been on a forum... Don't even know if I'm doing this right...
My issue is, it got below freezing and I was out of propane so I turned water off at source and didn't stay in here for a couple days... When I came back and turned the water back on, I immediately started cleaning and taking a shower(hot water) but I noticed first the hot water while washing dishes didn't last long... So I waited for shower... Then taking shower I noticed water turned cold pretty quickly... About 2 hours after turning main water source on(after dishes after shower) I started smelling something burning... And it was coming from hot water heater... No smoke inside(the inside access is under the queen bed in my 04 outback) so I went outside and opened the w/h door and I noticed water was spewing out of the pressure valve(I now know it's a pressure valve from you tubeI'm new at rving) so I immediately turned the water off... Then after watching YouTube videos I found out I'm supposed to empty the w/h ever so often(I was never informed of this) so a couple days later of no running water I decided to try to turn water back on to rv... I opened the pressure valve and it POURED out the pressure valve... And would not stop until I finally turned water off at the source....
