If the motorhome is to be stored for a long period of time, or during the
winter months, the water heater must be drained to prevent damage from freez-
ing. Refer to "Winterizing" for instructions. Be sure to refill the water heater
with water before resuming operation.
• Turn off water heater when not in use to conserve LP-Gas.
• The water heater tank capacity is ten gallons. When running
the shower, conserve the heated water by shutting the shower
water off when not in immediate use.
• Use caution when adapted to 30-amp shore service. When
the water heater element is in operation it will use
approximately 12 amps. Appliances may need to be operated
in sequence to avoid tripping a breaker.
• The temperature and pressure (T & P) safety relief valve on
the outside of the water heater is set to open at 210° F or
150 psi. When water temperature and pressure reach these
settings the valve may drip until the pressure has dropped.
Avoid opening the T & P valve manually as it may continue
to leak. Most hardware stores carry the valves.
WARNING: Before beginning any service or work on the
water heater make sure the LP-Gas is turned off, the 120 Volt
AC source has been disconnected and the 12 Volt DC source has
been disconnected. Failure to do so can result in explosion, fire
or injury.
• If water heater fails to light check the outside burner tube for
obstructions. Spiders may make nests in the burner tube.
• If the indicator light on the hall panel does not light, and the water
heater does not light, verify the battery cut-off switch at the entry
door is on or check for a blown fuse in the house distribution panel.
• If the switch at the panel is on, but there is no hot water, check the
ON/OFF switch located on the back of the water heater.
• If the 120 Volt piloted switch does not light check the AC source,
breaker, shore cord connection or transfer switch.
