Hot water heater popping reset switch
The last two times I have used my TT, I have had issues with my hot water heater. The time before last, the hot water heater would work fine on electric but would stop working after several hours. If I open the outside panel, there is a reset button that I would have to push. It would then work for several hours and then stop. Again, I'd have to go outside and push the reset button.
On the last trip, the water heater worked fine for over 24 hours (turned it on Wednesday afternoon and was still working Thursday evening). I figured that maybe there was something weird with the electric at the previous campground. However, on Friday morning I noticed the water was just "warm" and again the reset switch needed to be reset. Hot water heater works fine on propane. Any ideas what could cause this?
To add, I always use my progressive industries EMS unit when I camp so I know the voltage and amperage were good. Both sites had between 120-117 voltage.
