    Hot Water Heater - 2004 Adventurer

    Not sure if my 2004 Adventurer hot water heater has a bad rod or other problem. It is electric and propane but cannot get even warm waster with both running for almost an hour. The winterize bypass does not seem to be on. Was thinking of on demand, but matching the door size seems ominous...

    I have a 2024 Cougar 23MLE fifth wheel with a tankless water heater. I have the unit stored for the winter, and I had the water heater power turned off. However, I noticed that the power was somehow turned on, with an E1 code showing, indicating the gas source was missing, since I also had the...

    Gas water heater turns on every 5-15 minutes

    I bought a 2024 keystone cougar half ton 25RDS and the hot water heater is always turning on. Is it to prevent water from freezing? I have a heated hose, and tried turning the temperature down to 95F which is the lowest it will go hoping it would stop. Should I just let keep doing that or turn...

    Suburban 6WD Water Heater Circuit Board - 2021 Spirit 26T

    2021 Spirit 26T with Suburban 6WD water heater. I’ve been fighting a leak at the pressure switch on Shurflo pump apparently due to water heater overheating. Drip starts just before heater shuts off if I don’t release the pressure at a faucet. I feel like I’ve replaced everything I can- pump...

    Water heater opportunity

    Hello all. I'm new to the forum. I'm a fairly experienced camper but amateur camper owner. I purchased a (single-owner) 2011 GS Visa 23bhd in 2020. Due to its previous lengthy storage time, the water heater had difficulties starting. Replaced this and that, with no success, so just replaced all...

    Tankless water heater

    Someone posted on Facebook Marketplace an”RV tankless water heater” for sale. The picture of it was a Bosch instant water heater with a 3 prong ac cord. Is that a possibility for a replacement water heater? It would be AC only as there is no propane hook up. Thoughts?

    Hot water heater anode rod life

    Our new camper water heater anode rod was almost eaten up when I pulled it to drain the heater. We had the same basic 1 year life on the 2 motor homes we had prior to this camped. That seems odd to me. How long do others get from a Anode rod?

    Tankless water heater use

    New Fuzion 427. Our first tankless heater. Basically if I turn hot on and then temper with some cold it seems the lower flow to the heater makes it turn off giving us only cold water. Now these have been out for a while so my question is how to manage this or change settings on the heater to...

    Atwood OD-5001 water heater

    The water heater on our Dynamax Isata 5 has a leak at the Water Heater Modulating Valve Assembly. The plastic has a crack where one of the waterlines go in. Has anyone attempted to replace this part? Or if I replace the entire water heater, which tankless do I go with since they do not make...

    Water Heater UH-OH

    Last step when winterizing was to drain and rinse out the water heater. My handy Camco tank rinser came apart and the nozzle remains inside the tank. Heater is a Suburban 12 Gal. Any ideas on how to get this thin hard plastic piece out of there? I did get a hold of it once with a grabber but...

    Water Heater Insulation

    I just bought a 2021 Geo Pro 16BH and the foam insulation on the water heater looks strange like maybe it melted at some point. Any insight you can offer? https://1drv.ms/i/s!AvStLR7eqJbD8d0F7q8Rj0MhHHTp4A?e=xhjdgH

    Hot Water Heater Bypass

    Good Day All: we have a 2024 Primetime Avenger two wheeler, and I am trying to winterize it using the anti-freeze method. I cannot find the hot water heater bypass valve to close it to keep the anti-freeze from going to the water heater. I can trace the red hot water line from the heater to the...

    Delete Water Heater? 2000 Journey 36G

    Thinking about replacing my hot water heater with an under the sink on demand water heater. Seems as though if you are only going to use the hot water to get wet, soap up, and rinse off you wouldn't need that much hot water. Wonder if you can get one that runs off 120 volts instead of propane.
