Water heater lighting
I purchased a 2006 cavalier FEMA trailer at our hunting camp and was wondering if someone can direct me on how to get the water heater to work? Thanks in advance

No picture needed.
You have a gas only water heater with electronic ignition (sparker)
Do you have water supply on and water heater is full?
Do you have 12V DC supply.....good battery or via shore power and a converter?
Do you have PROPANE?
Turn water heater ON/OFF switch ON
Should hear sparker 'clicking' repeatedly and propane should flow/light off. Its automatic
No SPARK....
In outside compartment above gas valve is a rubber cover with 'Push to Reset'. Right button is for the propane high temp t-stat. If it tripped it shuts down the 12V DC (left button s for electric which you do not have)
If you had to reset then t-stats should be replaced...high temp only trips when water temp goes high (normal t-stat failed to work)
12V DC set of t-stats.....part number 232282
If didn't need reset then you need to trace/check/test 12V DC System and find where 12V DC stops
If it sparked but doesn't light...might need to repeat lighting cycle several times until propane flow is established.
12V DC System
