This is in a class A motorhome. It's a 2000 Holiday Rambler Endeavor. We bought it used a year and a half ago. The water heater we had replaced used an actual electrical extension cord for the electricity (as we discovered when it started leaking) so I'm pretty sure it wasn't original, and I don't know what model it was. The mobile rv guy used the same cord, rv shop yesterday said it had scorched wires and said they hard-wired the new hot water heater up properly for electrical use. We live in the rv full time so hoping to get this figured out soon. There's an ongoing saga regarding this hot water heater situation that has now involved three separate repair companies/people, including outright fraud/theft the first time, and now five months and a total of $2400 later, no hot water. It's almost funny, but I'd really like to fix it.
Does it seem likely that it's safe to switch back to propane for now or could that cause more problems at this point?
Monaco/HR used what looks like an extension cord to supply 120 power to the Dual Water Heaters. So, that part was normal. As OLD BIS stated, you have had some VERY Incompatant people working on your RV. They just plain did NOT know how to install and wire a 2004 to current Atwood Water Heater.
