Yea retired !! First full timer needs help!!
Gas Water heater problems:( I have a 99 holiday Rambler in very good condition. Here is the scenario with heater; it takes many attempts to light. Turn on switch; signal " pilot light out". Couple more tries, same thing. Sometimes while trying to light a semi loud pop occurs from heater area. Like gas has built up and then when I try to relight the igniter worked. After sometimes four tries water heater starts working. Now when water temp ok heater shuts off; but no "pilot light out " signal like it should. While taking shower heater will come on like it suppose to reheat some more water. For safety reasons after hot water usage I shut off water heater switch. Next morning same issue. I replaced the controller circuit board this year because it was cracked, but still same problem. Also note it seems the heater will ignite with less tries after servicing bottles. I suspect the gas regulator/diaphragm area is the culprit, but?? Thanks in advance.
