water heater on minnie winnie 22r

New to motor home/r.v. and ready for our first voyage. Have a 2015 Minnie Winnie 22r. Just wondering if the water heater can run on both electric and propane or just on propane? Seems like just propane but I hate using gas. Scares me a bit. Thanks for any help.
  • I'd suggest you get acquainted with your owner's manual, which in the case of Winnebago/Itasca is quite comprehensive. They copy the literature from the manufacturers of each component, and add it to their manuals. More than likely your water heater is gas only.

    From the specification page on the Minni Winnie web site you have a

    6-gallon LP water heater w/electronic ignition
  • theres tens of thousands of propane heaters out there. nothing to worry about ,if somethings not right it will automaticly shut off, be careful the water is very hot.
  • You need to post make and full model number of the water heater to get a correct response.
