Water heater not operating & City water issues

I used my rig last week for five days. Two issues occurred that need my attention: 1. Water heater would not fire up under 110V nor 12V operation. The 12V did fire up and then after a few minutes...

OK.....feeling embarrassed!

I assumed that since 12V switch informed the burner to activate/ignite, so would the 120V switch. I was wondering why the 120V switch would not ignite the burner.....DUH!!!!

After reading the input on this thread, I realized it is a heating element that heats water on 120V, NOT propane!!

BTW....the PRV also stopped leaking on 120V!

Is is possible PRV would leak on 12V/Propane and not on 120V? If so, why?

Thanks for the input.
