water heater

How do I drain the water heater on a 2015 Heartland North Trail?

Hello All, Brand new to the forum and on my second Heartland travel trailer. We just sold our Wilderness 2475bh and just purchased a Sundance 291qb. We have three kids and the added space seems like it is going to be awesome! Here is my question: we can't seem to find the switch to turn on...

2014 4000 Heartland toy hauler. propane works to tank, but electric does not work. have tried a few things such as cleaning etc. but still no electric to heat water. P. Hunt

I am in a 76 airstream argosy and I just installed a new water heater and all new pluming. This new Girard GSWH-2 has a 12v+,12v-, and 2 blue wires for the switch. After tearing out the old water heater, I realaized there was never any wiring to this unit. I've noticed a lot of other guys just...

What does it mean when the electric water heater hisses? I have been RVing for about six months (three in my driveway, three on the road). The noise is coming from the area of my pass-through where the water heater is located. And, when I turn the water heater (switch) off, the hissing...

Help. Am I missing something? I have a 2013 Landmark Grand Canyon. I went to replace the water heater and found there appears to be no way to access the back so that you can disconnect/connect the hoses. The hoses are too short to let you remove the unit to disconnect them, but there is no way...

Hello all Heartland peeps! Just wondering.. in an attempt to recover my hot water a bit quicker so that the next person in my "circle" could get in the shower, could it be possible to use both my propane system as well as my electric heating system to get the hot water up faster or would I run...

Hi everyone! I recently purchased a new Trail Runner 27ODK (2016 model but new). I'm taking it out for the first trip this weekend but it is winterized and I have a question about de-winterizing the water heater. What are the best steps to take? I assume the tank is located behind a...

I have no idea what went wrong. We went away last week and came back Thursday night. Used the shower then and yesterday but now have no hot water. LPG tanks are full and the 12V and 120V switches are on, but still no hot water. I've checked the fuses and breakers and they are good. Any thoughts...

Hi guys! My first post in here but definitely not my last. Unable to get pictures right now but going to attempt to explain this to the best of my ability.... For Gas - Looks like the thermostat on my water heater has been either stolen or never installed by my dealer. Is this required to...

Good afternoon folks, Last weekend I started winterizing the 2014 road warrior 425RW that I had bought new this June past. Having released the water heater pressure, and emptying it, I turned the switch to winterise, and used the on board pump at the panel to start pumping RV Antifreeze...

We are UK owners of a 2011 Elkridge Express E26 and need your help!:confused: When we last used our unit all was fine but we recently moved back in and found the hot water was cold, we turned the gas/electric off and on and tried to re-ignite but no joy. The only thing we did recently was to...

We recently purchased a new 2008 cyclone 3612. 1 of all, a cupboard door fell off due to the hinges not having long enough screws to hold it to the door. Then we had issues with the water heater. Our water started boiling out outside and heater would not shut off. It was a bad sensor. Now...

I have discovered that the valve on the cold water supply line into the water heater on my Prowler 29P RKS was frozen. No water supply to tank. Unfortunately, everything is plumbed using PEX. In order to access the valve, I had to cut the PEX and remove the valve and the 90 degree elbow...

Looked everywhere for small leak behind UDC, found it! (easy to miss) Not sure what the deal is but had a full tank of fresh water and the heater on, it worked until earlier tonight. Backing up a bit...before the cold weather hit I pulled the panel blocking the UDC/water pump/HW tank and there...

First time TT owner and first post in the forum.... Bought a used 2009 NT 28bhs...love it!!! The water heater works, but luke warm. As I understand it, previous owners had the temp adjusted for a handicap family member so my suspicion is that the bypass valve is slightly open to bring in cold...

Just pulled my Big Horn out of storage for a one week Christmas trip. Since I had previously drained the hot water tank on our previous trip, and winterized the water lines, I proceeded to close the by-pass valved on the back of the heater and opened the lines to fill the tank. After about ten...

Hello, my 2011 Heartland MPG 182 has two switches with a Water Heater label. There is one switch on the test panel, and when I switch it on it fires up the water heater. There is another one over to the right of the bathroom. When I flip it, it does seemingly nothing. Any ideas what the...

I have a 2009 Sundance 3300sk when I first plug in I have to go outside to the water heater and flip the rocker switch from on to off then back on and it will work till the tank is hot, after we use the tank or wake in the morning there is no hot water or just warm, it wont get hot again till I...

:mad: As brand new RVers, we've been pretty irritated with several things. Most of all is the lack of quality of the owners manual. To say it is subpar would be generous. However, the biggest irritation was with the water heater. I knew not to turn on the electric to the water heater without...

We don't keep the propane or electric turned on to the water heater. We only turn it on before anticipated use. My question is will the water in the water heater freeze iif the water heater is not turned on in say 20 degree F weather? Or would it be better to leave the water heater turned on...

What does the red light switch next to the entrance door for? I was told by the dealer that this is to make the water heater run on elctric but it does not work.

Our 3580RL has a third tank of fresh water. If we turn on electricity, is that enough for the hot water heater not to burn up a heating element? Is there a switch we have to turn on for the hot water heater to come on elect or does it come on automatically with electric.??New trainee

Hi All, I have a new Big Country and having a bit of an issue with my water heater. I live quite a way from my dealer so I am hoping this is something I can handle myself. It seems that when I am running on gas, some times the igniter does not light the gas? It sits and clicks for a while but...

Our 2998 did not have a water heater manual when we purchase it. can anyone explain the basic operation of this thing? On our first outing I ran it off of propane and it worked fine, but when we woke up after the first night we had no hot water. I flipped the electric switch and ran and got...

On the 26RKS the water heater is on the street-side of the front storage compartment. It seems like it would be trivial to add a water heater drain by an additional valve/hose at the water heater bypass. Is there a reason why the only documented/official method I can find to drain the water...
