    2021 37 DLL hot water heater question

    We just purchased a 2021 37dll and we are wondering on how the 10 gallon hot water heater performs when taking a shower? How long of a shower can you take without running out of hot water? Our old trailer had a 5 gallon tank without rapid recovery and we were forced to take military showers...

    Leaving the hot water switch always on?

    In my A122, the hot water switch is in a terrible location to access, below the bench of the table. What a pain to crawl down there, sometimes with a flashlight, to turn that on at every set up. So...is it a problem to just leave it on? I don't have a battery on mine because we never boondock...

    New Camper runs out of hot water fast

    My new camper with a Dometic 6 gallon hot water heater seems to run out of hot water super fast. My previous rug had an Atwood 6 gallon and we could take normal length showers without running out. I’ve had it back to the dealer and they said everything works correct. I just did an experiment...

    Water Heater Issues

    Good Morning Everyone, So I have a brand new 304BH with the suburban water heater. As most trailers come with 20lb'ers from the dealer I quickly ran empty back in late April, and wanted to switch to 30lb'ers anyway. So the water heater functioned normal till I ran out of gas. Then it wouldn't...

    Air in Hot Water Lines

    The last time I had my camper out (2011 Freedom Express) I just couldn't seem to get air out of the hot water lines unless the hot water heater was off. Any other time I may get some surging and coughing from both hot and cold but it would quickly smooth out. The weird thing is it doesn't do it...

    Hot water tank leaking

    I mad a huge mistake and released the pressure valve on the hot water tank while it was on. Luckily I didn't die. Now the tank is leaking. I'm guessing I will need to replace it. Does anyone know if the whole thing needs replaced or if it can be fixed by any chance?

    Improved hot water heater bypass

    I'm thinking of changing my one-valve hot water heater bypass to a two-valve system. The single valve works fine for bypassing the inlet to prevent antifreeze from entering. But recently, I noticed a foul taste coming from the water heater and bypassing it didn't prevent that water from entering...

    Hot water heater

    I noticed that there is a toggle switch on each hot water tank and an electric switch on the control panel. Do I need both switches on to get hot water or does one switch control the electric heater and one switch control the propane heater? Thanks all for your input!
