Typo...title..WATER HEATER. I am remodeling my interior. I have 2021 towable with a 6 gallon gas water heater, I want to enclose the area in the back corner where the water heater unit sits. Of course, it is attached thru the exterior wall and all the gas operating portion is outside. Just...

Hello everyone and thank you in advance for your help! This is my second information request and this site has been amazing so far! I have a suburban water heater that has not been able to heat water using propane since I bought the camper. I have fixed the electric successfully and at least...

I have been running my hot water heater on electric at the campground we are at currently. All of a sudden I am just getting warm water. I turned off the electric and used propane. Hot water is now “hot”! Am I looking at a new heating element? Thanks!

My transcend is a 2023 and I took it out on it's first voyage. I hooked up to city water, ran it for 30 minutes, opened all of the faucets to get out the winterized stuff, but the water heater would not fill up. I moved the switch from bypass to normal (as only 1 switch) but it still would not...

Is it a very big job to move the on/off water heater switch from the compartment to a more convenient location, maybe in the master bath?

Anyone have any idea what this is? It's in my bathroom. Thanks, Andy & The Malinois Gang!

I have a '21 Cherokee grey wolf 26DBH, our last trip halfway through, the rocker light started to stay on even after it was lit and heated up. We were smelling gas so we turned it off and waited tried again same thing happened. We located the source of the leak, the propane switchover valve...

So the water heater on our unit I noticed a few months into ownership that the frame around the water heater was pealing away from the side of the motorhome! The silicone was all torn along the bottom and there was like 3/8" gap. I removed the cover plate to access the water heater better and...

Hi, Just bought my first trailer, a 2018 Forest River Salem 27RKSS. The documentation is a little sparse and the previous owner could not answer these water heater related questions. 1.Where is the water heater bypass valve? I've looked everywhere and cannot find it. 2.If there is a heater...

First camping trip in our 2023 Freedom Express 192RBS ….filled the fresh water turned on pump and no cold water. Hot water coming out of both sides in bathroom and kitchen. A lot of air in the lines also. We were told it was ready to go. The hot water tank appears filled as we are getting...

My Atwood water heater had a fire and melted a bunch of the wires. I haven't torn into it yet, but based on the damage being above the air inlet to the burner tube, I'm guessing I'll find bugs or cobwebs in the burner tube. Is anyone familiar with what type of damage might have been caused...

We're just getting familiar with our RV. Is this normal? We're in a nonelectric campsite in our Flagstaff E-Pro e15TB. The hot water heater holds 6 gallons. I washed a few dishes at 6 PM. I used the hot water, but started washing as soon as the water started running. I used about 2 quarts of...

i have a 2021 Georgetown 5. The Control Panel in the kitchen shows that there is a fault in the water heater. There is no propane on board. Trying to use the electric. How do I reset the Control Panel, or what is the "fault" and how do I fix it. I have 115-117 volts to the electric element...

2011 Flagstaff 8528RKWS 5th wheel. I have had a lot of problem with the propane side of the water heater. Most times I follow the start up procedure: water supply on> 120 on> propane on> propane switch on. Then I will get several clicks and sometimes in ignites, and sometimes not. Many...

I've searched the various forums and pages and can't find the answer to my issue. We have a Suburban water heater SW12DE in our 2016 Cedar Creek 38CK. The propane side of my hot water heater works fine. I can't get the 120v side to work. I've checked everything I can think of. Ohm'ed the...

Had hot water heater replaced last fall. Went boondocking last week and used the heater on gas for the first time since installation. Having had the previous heater catch on fire I was a bit concerned so I stood beside the trailer and after the unit had run for 3-5 minutes I touched the...

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 2017 27rkss Wildwood

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...

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...

Built this out of a piece of copper-anodized sheet metal to keep wind from blowing out the flame in the water heater of my Flagstaff T12RB PUP.

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...

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...
