Our 1999 RV was winterized when I bought it 2 months ago. Today I drained all the anti-freeze out and ran fresh water thru the system. But I figure out how to light the water heater? There's a wate...

As I recall, the flame should be about 7 or 8 inches long, by about 3+ inches wide at the widest point. It shoots into a round tube with a baffle, so that the air flows in the bottom and out the top, all inside this tube. It makes me wonder if the electronics have a time limit, so if the thermostat does not turn it off within a certain period, then it shuts off on its own. I use my coach in the dead of winter, and even when its single digits outside, it has not problem heating the water in a reasonable amount of time. Anytime it goes into a protection mode, there should be a warning light that turns on. This would be the same light that first turns on when you hit the switch, but turns off, once the flame lights.
