No major news from this weekend of camping. I did adjust the pressure regulator up by 1/4 turn but really did not want to mess with it without taking a reading with a manometer.
One thing I noticed is that the unit would not flame out when I had the water heater door open. No need to chime in here with the dangerous comments, I know this.
What I did this weekend was to set the t-stat on the water heater to high, light it, close the door and have everyone take showers back to back. Worked well but not really a good solution.
Was doing some more research and came across those Hott Rod electric conversion kits. We never camp without hookups and I have a 110V circuit sitting in the same compartment as the water heater. The unit was a trade show demo and Gulfstream mounted a TV and DVD in the compartment next to the water heater. The Hott Rod kit says it uses only 400 watts.
Has anyone tried one of these? I'm looking at keeping this trailer for another 6-9 months and would like to avoid buying a new water heater.
