water heater

Hello there ... I have a 2015 5th wheel Puma. Our first time out this weekend, all systems were a go. I did notice hot water capacity was a little low... Wondering if this unit can be upgraded to a bigger unit, if there is even an room ?

Hello all, I have a 2020 2109s Rockwood Mini Lite. It has a Suburban water heater model # SW6DELC. I would like to sanitize my water system, but I cannot find a water heater bypass. Does anyone know where it might be hidden? Or if there is not one, how do you sanitize the fresh water tank and...

I recently purchased a 2018 FR3 DS30 50 Amp version. My previous RV was a 2016 FR 2401WDS so I am reasonably familiar with the Forest River systems. My hot water heater in the 2401 could be used as either electric heating or propane by turning on the appropriate switch on the convenience...

Hello I have a 2024 Salem hemisphere 291rl just winterized it and didn’t notice a drain for my water heater, I’m a bit confused some specs I see says it’s tankless others says it has a 10 gal tank so I just pulled antifreeze through the siphon hose directly to pump after I blew out all lines...

So, the original thought was that I had busted a pipe fitting. And began the process of looking for the broken junction. While trying to mitigate the water leakage that was slowly invading the trailer. Only to finally learn - that it wasn't a pipe - but appears to be the water heater, itself...

Hi all. Propane sniffer detected a leak where the propane enters the pilot tube. Anyone when know why?

I have a cedar Creek 40 CFL, the previous owner put in a 10 gal electric water heater, just like the one I have in my house only smaller. Would this mean he did away with the original gas/electric water heater and repiped it. Thank you

Hey all, Finishing up 1st season in a new apex nano Travel trailer.. our previous motorhome didn’t have a zinc anode in the water heater but this does. Removed it today and this is what I found— I was surprised to see that much of it sacrificed. I have no frame of reference and wondering if...

Following information in a thread several years old, I have been able to successfully drain my BW hot water tank each year. However this afternoon when I opened the pressure relief valve, I only got less than a half cup of water out, dribbling very slowly. The only thing I can think of that I...

We have only been in our RV for almost 2 months. We were running out of hot water fast and now we have none at all. I have tried to email the service department but haven't heard back. We are new to all this. I am honestly not even sure if ours is electric or gas. Just wondering if I am doing...

I can't find the water heater bypass valve on 2021 Sportscoach 366BH. Any one have any ideas?

This weekend I went to shut off the electric element on my water heater and the switch was stuck. Jiggled, moderate pressure, etc, wouldnt budge. Last resort, keep pressing harder until it shuts off or breaks. Well, it broke, in the on position. I shut off the breaker the heater is on. So...

When I pulled the anode/drain on the water heater today I got quite a bit of scale out. Decided to do a 50/50 white vinegar/water soak overnight before I finish winterizing. I rigged up a quite stand pipe (see picture) into the anode/drain. It's 3/4" FNPT thread so a 3/4" MNPT x SOC adapter...

I have a GSWH-2 heater that won't lite. When turning the hot water on the fan kicks on and the unit tries to lite. The igniter sparks but no flame. I have replaced the gas tank with a full one, checked the gas at the stove, cracked the line at the water heater and have gas pressure there. I...

Ok I have a dumb question here. I have a 2021 Rockwood 8336BH camper. I am trying to purchase a new anode rod and wonder if they are all of standard size or do I need to be cautious to find one that meets the exact specs of my camper? Looking online (amazon) it's hard to match them to a...

I've searched forums and the like for any information on how to access the water heater bypass valves on my 2024 Nobo 20.3, and seems like there are plenty of posts on the 16 and 19, but nothing on the 20. I'm sure I can tear enough things apart to get at it but not even sure it HAS a bypass...

I've watched a couple of YouTube videos recently about giving the water heater a white vinegar soak and flush. Probably not a bad idea. One thing I keep seeing is people opening the relief valve to verify the fill and to vent to drain the solution. Has anyone had any problems with their...

Hi all my Suburban (SW6DEC) gas/electric water heater fried out last year while running on electric. I smelled a rubber melting smell and the side of the styrofoam casing melted in a ~4" line towards the back corner of the unit(as seen in photos). I'm trying to figure out what I seen to do to...

Ok, feeling dumb. 2023 419RD. Either I'm blind or it's in the rats nest of plumbing, but where did FR Riverstone put the WH bypass valve?

We purchased a 2024 Wildwood Heritage Glen 273RL on 7/26/2023. The trailer is equipped with a Model ST-60 Suburban On Demand Water Heated. Since our first camping trip the water heater has not functioned properly, showing an E-1 error code. The dealership we purchased the trailer from has tried...

I recently purchased a legacy forest river 34bh with instahot and propane water heater. I can’t get hot water propane system to turn on. Propane is full, tank is full in the water heater.

first post, I have a 2022 FR Salem Lite 263BHXL that we have owned for about a year, purchased used from non-FR dealership, so about 2 years since new. we had a bad hail storm earlier this year and the trailer has been in the shop getting new skins, roof, a/c, etc. We took it to my deer lease...

Hi there. New to here but hoping for thoughts. I have a 2019 Rockwood Mini Lite 2109 S. The problem is I have a fuse that keeps blowing. It controls the water heater and water pump. Water heater works on propane mode just fine. Turn it to electric and fuse blows. Turn everything off, replace...

Has anyone changed out their on demand water heater for a 12 gal . Tank model. We have tried everything and we are about to make the change .

Hopefully someone can help me troubleshoot the problem with our new Alpha Wolf trailer. Having never had a tankless water heater, I'm not sure what the problem is. We made sure we had gas supply by lighting a stove burner. The outside electrical switch is on by the water heater. I set the temp...
