I think my element burnt out the other day. Trailer smelled like burning electrical and water isnt hot. Heard its an easy repair but havnt looked into it yet.
Do they normally pull 11amps? Thats what started the problem. Turned off power and hooked up an amp meter because i was curious. Flipped the water heater back on and read 11amp on the meter. Went inside the trailer 30 mins later and it smelled bad.
