Hello I have been living In my 2005 Alpha leisure fifth wheel since December. January is when my hot water stop working!! Inreplaced the control board thermacouple and igniter I have blown out the vents from debris and it still won't ignite on its own I have to manually light it and when the flame lights it's only on for maybe 20 seconds. I don't know where the heating element is to check if it's good or not I cant afford a technician right now!!

The heater runs on Propane. Are you getting enough pressure on the Propane? Propane pressure can drop in cold weather.
Is this 5th-wheel trailer new to you?
Yes it is new to me .. and It's a gas and electric water heater I have adjust the propane pressure and get the same results !!
Can you get a make and model off the water heater? With that information we might be able to offer some better suggestions.
Does it run on electric?
