The SW6PE water heater was purchased from Camping World in 2005.
I assume it is possible that the original HWH had an electric pilot light module.
I don't see one on this unit.
Again - I'm trying to be overly cautious.

If there was an ignition system previously, but now there ins't, then do i just ignore the interior switch and light manually? (Leaving the exterior rocker switch off - unless on shore power)?
Also - can a direct (electronic) ignition be added to the PE version?
(Essentially making it a DE)
thanks
