Took mine out this last weekend. First day I tripped the thermal fuse on the hot water heater on mine this last weekend. I had to drive an hour to get a new one and they cost $31 a pair. I would suggest making or buying a spare to keep on hand.
I opened the hot water heater cover while it was running and the wind flipped the flame up onto the thermal fuse for a second and tripped it.
Anyone know how to adjust the air slide on the Atwood water heaters ?? Mine is getting the outside side cover screen black and I was told by another camper the air slide isn't adjusted correctly. I played with the air slide adjuster and ended up right back to where it was. I tried getting a blue flame in the burner but it was making popping noise so I slid it back to where it was.
Got back and a buddy asked why I didn't switch over to electric on the water heater. Everything I see in the manual says it is gas.... nothing on being electric.
Do we have a switch somewhere on these to use it with elctricity instead of gas ??
