I honestly can't say about the water heater. I think that the light stays on continuously, but I am not sure. I have only used it once, since I have only stayed overnight one time.
The fact that your door won't match the opening, doesn't necessarily mean they won't replace the door. The frame may have close enough clearence to use the newer design instead of trying to match the old one. They may have to do that anyway.
I used strips of 2x6 to level my old Winnebago. With this unit, I am using the plastic blocks that Camping World sells. They are pricy, but light and work well. Levelers would probably be better for stability, since they secure "unsprung weight" to the ground instead of leveling the wheels, but in a unit our size, it seems like overkill to me.
What made you decide to get an RV? Were you led to believe that buying new would be a problem free experience? I must say that the manufacturing defects are more plentiful than I expected, but, assuming your marriage isn't at risk, the problems will eventually end. I am personally more interested in how the unit performs as I approach the end of warranty (in about one and a half years from now). That will help me decide whether to keep it long term, or get rid of it before the chassis warranty is over.
I just went out and started the heater. There are two lights. There is a light in the switch that stays lit, then there is a light (led) that goes out as soon as the fire starts up.
