Had a similar experience last weekend while out camping. Friday the hot water worked fine, Saturday no hot water. Had good flow (full tanks), 120 AC and full LP tank. Checked the breakers and fuses even pushed on the Reset buttons on the water heater.... still nothing. :h
Then my buddy bent down a little lower than I could and said hey whats this switch do? Back down low is a simple ON/OFF black switch which for reasons known only to the RV God's had tripped itself like a breaker. There is no mention of this switch in the owners manual but I assume it is just to enable you to manually shut the water heater off.
Flipped it to on and presto, all the hot water we could ever want. :S
?????
Suburban WH?
Switch in outside compartment....lower corner?
If YES...that is an ON/OFF switch for electric element.
Whatever it is/does once we turned it back on within a minute or two the gas burner lit off like the afterburner on an F-18 (nothing I would want to take place in a gas station.... but that is another fun discussion in and of itself), and in ten minutes we had a tank full of hot water. Not sure of the water heater brand but will recheck tomorrow when I bring the rig home from storage to load for our next trip. Thanks! :C
