My Suburban hot water heater is electric and prophane. The previous owner must have let the electric element get burned out. Is it a big deal to just let it run on prophane and not mess with the electric element replacement?
Thanks, Mike

Have a new 2023 Rockwood 2511S. Want to sanitize so started looking for the hot water heater. The dummies at Rockwood put it under the sink, accessible only by removing drawers. Found the valves for hot water and cold water turn off, but no bypass hose and valve. Is it possible there is no by...
We had an issue where we would turn on our heater and the gas seemed to ignite initially, but the air never got very hot and it wouldn’t re-ignite on the subsequent cycles. Turned out to be a broken igniter. Very easy to fix but it was hard for me to diagnose on my own because it seemed to be...
Hello campers,
I Have a 2019 16FQ Wolf Pup, with a Suburban SW6DE water heater. When using propane, the water heater ignites and heats the water to just over 130 deg (at the faucet). When the hot water is used, temperature drops and the unit begins the re-light process, the igniter clicks and...
Our 2020 Forest River Georgetown GT5 34H5
has Thomas Payne seismic theater seating.
The weird issue is that the heat and massage function for both seats has recently just stopped working. All other functions work properly.
The documentation that I have read says that “most problems” can be...
Good afternoon,
We have a Suburban Water heater in our 2018 FR NOBO that exhibits strange behaviours and I hope you can help me before I start throwing parts at it.
We have it off grid at our camp in Ontario. We have excellent performance from our other propane systems.
When we first get there...
Hey there - first time poster.
Have a 2003 Rockwood Freedom 2280 Popup Camper.
Had it for about 8 years now - and I will constantly run into an issue with the heater. Night one it'll work great. Night two - the fan will kick on but the flame won't light.
Propane tanks full. Battery fully...
Having a problem with my propane water heater triggering CO/Propane alarm on my 2-year-old Flagstaff T12RB A-Frame popup. It seems to happen primarily in windy conditions when a gust will come in through the exterior exhaust vent of the water heater and extinguish the flame. This, in turn...
I had an issue with my LP SW6DEL Water Heater not lighting off. The stove and fridge worked fine on LP.
After some trouble-shooting I removed the Control Module and discovered a burn mark. Camping World had a replacement, I installed and fired right up. I initially went through the motions of...
Hi All............
I've got a 2014 Rockwood Roo 23IKSS that I've had for about a year. I found leaks in the shower enclosure, so I'm gutting the bathroom to make it right.
I would like to put a tankless water heater in it as part of that work, but knowing so little about the existing Roo...
I have a 2022 Rockwood Mini Lite 2205s. My Suburban water heater model number per the dealer sheet is SW6DELC - internet search was negative for that model, so for references and how to use, I am using model SW6DEL as my baseline. I have read the awesome water heater section and did not come...
I just purchase a 2023 Rockwood Minilite 2104s. I am on my first camping trip and needed to run the heat last night. When I turn the heat on you could hear it start blowing but it was cold air. After it ran a couple minutes it shut down and never restarted. If I shut it off it will run once...
I have 2015 Palomino Columbus 375RL, im over 3 hrs away from my 5th wheel and I'm curious if anyone knows what water heater is in it? I forgot to grab some pics of the data plate before I left last time. It needs a new electric heating element. Want to have a new one with me next time we go...
My atwood heater ignites fine but I only have a yellow flame and never get the normal "jet sound" as it starts to heat up. The flame is large and I worry that the wiring may already be damaged. Any thoughts what would be causing this. It was working 1 day and not the next.
Preparing for a cross-Canada trip, as I opened the cover on my Hot Water Heater, the plastic tab lost its grip and the fastener fell apart. The first photo below shows the faulty original parts at the top.
At the bottom of that photo, I show the parts I used to fashion a repair/upgrade. I ran...
Hello,
Im fairly new to the RV life, recently my water heater died, turns out it was just the switch outside that was no good, the plumber removed the switch, and was ordering a new one, but I can’t get ahold of him now, so im gonna fix it myself, but he took the old switch, so I don’t know the...
New to the group. I've used every set of search terms I can think of and not found an answer. I'm trying to determine how to access the water heater bypass valves in my 2021 Vibe 26RK. If I look behind the "apartment fridge" on the curb-side rear corner I think I see them. Do I need to...

I just bought my trailer and am currently living in it. I've never owned a travel trailer before, let alone lived in one, but circumstances are what they are and here I am. So far I've figured out how almost everything else works and most of the trailer seems...
Any suggestions as to why this light is continuously turning on, I turn off the switch and sometimes it stays off, but it comes back on??, it the DSI FLT red light for the water heater.
My Truma water heater started failing on a recent trip. It wouldn’t turn on from inside the coach so I went out to check the heater from the access cover. Not knowing where to start I hoped a restart would help. I turned it off, waited a few seconds then switched it back on. The green light came...
I have a 2017 Palamino Backpacker (pickup truck camper). Very little to no problems since we purchased several years ago. We are getting ready to leave for a vacation and after flushing the system out we noticed a leak coming from the water heater.
The water heater is leaking at the pressure...
Does anyone know a source for the factory theater seating in a Forester 3011DS or Sunseeker 301DS? The aftermarket seating sits to high off the floor due to the slide base.
We have a 2018 Rockwood GeoPro G19FD. When we are dry camping or even on shore power, the water heater heats up initially after we set up camp. I can hear the flames going. However, once we take a shower the flames never come on again to keep heating the water up again.
Anyone else have...
Hi Everybody, we just purchased a new 2022 Wildwood 27RK and I am having a problem locating the water heater bypass so we can open up our camper for the season. I removed the false panel underneath the sink and can see the hot and cold water lines but no valves. I also removed the panel under...
