    Hot water coming out first thing in the morning for a few seconds before going cold

    I've noticed that our water has been super hot latley and then this morning when I turned on the kitchen sink the cold water ran hot for a few seconds before running cold. We are starting to get freezing temps and wasn't sure if this had anything to do with it.

    Hot Water Heater Stopped Working Today

    Currently do not have hot water coming out of the hot water heater. My wife and I both were able to take hot showers and do dishes last night so it has been working fine up until today. The electric side of our hot water heater would work 80% of the time and the other 20% we would normally just...

    Hot water heater flush

    How exactly do you flush an RV hot water heater? Are you blowing water up the drain and possible depositing debris elsewhere in the system??? I have a 2011 189 FBS. Thank you.

    2006 Hawk Hot Water Heater Not Lighting

    Hello WTW Folks, I am unable to get the pilot to light on the hot water heater in my 2006 Hawk. The pilot light will eventually ignite if I use a butane lighter but take a long time. The main burner will then also ignite. But after a couple minutes both go off. The water is heated only to warm...

    Hello! This is my first RV and it's a GRAND one ;-) We did however experience an issue on the first two trips we took, which were all local and were great for getting to know our RV and finding out what items we still needed to purchase before taking a longer trip or inviting friends/family etc...

    Sanitize - run through HWH or bypass?

    Hi all - quick question, and sorry if this has been covered... When sanitizing the fresh water system, I'm good on the ratio and process. What I can't figure out - should I run the solution through the hot water heater as well, or bypass it as if I'm winterizing? I know the bleach is...

    Hot water heater valve correct?

    I am a novice, so I am hoping someone out there can help. On a recent trip, we had to drain out the anti-freeze from winterizing. We opened the valve to then let the water into the hot water tank, and water went in. However, the water never got warm on either electric on gas. I tried to research...

    Hot Water

    For once, I’m not in hot water! Lol Recently purchased our 2008 Viewfinder. Struggling with hot water: seems like I get about 2 seconds, then it’s gone. I’ve replaced the sacrificial anode (I know it’s not what makes it hot, but looking at the old one it had some small sacrificing, so it must...

    hot water heater leaking

    My 2013 Dutchmen Voltage hot water heater is leaking. It appears to be from underneath the tank. I've lived in it full-time for one year so I'm still new to owning a camper. Question - how long do the water heaters generally last? I saw on one thread that if the leak is on the tank itself that...

    Ran Water Heater without Water

    Okay, I made a rookie mistake. I just brought home my gently used 2017 303RLS and turned on the water heater (gas and electric) buttons by mistake. They must have been on for at least an hour. My unit was winterized at the dealership I bought it from and I later noticed the hot water tank plug...
