I got a 2012 Jayco Embark new. Their workmanship was horrendous. Requiring many weeks at the dealer, countless hours of my work and even a trip back to Jayco.
Recently the electric portion of my water heater quit. When I went to check it I found that the water heater was installed in a totally sealed cargo bay. Brilliant engineering!
I sent Jayco CS 2 emails politely asking the dimensions to cut a hole to access the element so nothing else would be damaged. No response.
Never again.
Where are your bypass valves located,what make and model of water heater is it?Do you access the element from the rear or the front?
Again where do you find the by pass valves?Is the 110 volt element on the front or rear of the heater?How did the factory make the electrical 110 volt connection to the heater in an enclosed space.All electrical 110 volt connections or joints require an access point by any code I have ever read.Do have to take out some panel to access the heater?? I'll have to see this situation to understand it.We have a Jayco dealer near by and I am sure they have some knowledge of how to do this,may have one on the lot.How did you resolve this situation?
