Turn the gas off, wait 3 minutes ans ssslllooowwwlllyy open the gas valve. Make sure the selector on the regulator is turned to the open bottle. Go inside and try to light a stove burner using a gas match. Usually takes a minuteor so to get a good flame. Now, go out and try to light the water heater. No joy? Start looking electrical
if it was just the furnace or just the water heater I would agree. and I have removed both and checked all switches and electrical components, according to their tech, that I can check. I even tore apart the furnace and checked the fan switch to make sure there were no dirt dobbers on it.
I normally leave the bottle I am using on at all times. I leave the other closed. once the furnace starts working, it will work for the entire weekend. the water heater does the same thing.
also as I said in my previous post my outside grill, on occasion, does not work well enough to cook on. it will light but the flames are so tiny that it barely burns.
I didn't change the supply hose from the regulator to the trailer hard piping, I am wondering if it hasn't collapsed like a brake line does sometimes. I am going to lease this weekend and plan on trying to diagnose this problem. I am going to bring another bottle and hose with another low pressure regulator I have from home and hook it directly to the hard line on the trailer. that will eliminate the regulator and hose, and bottles for that matter.
please continue to give ideas, the more views the better. thanks
