Water Heater Removal
I need to remove the 10 gal water heater from our Allegro Bus - a welded joint on the tank let loose. Anybody here have experience removing one of these? Tips?
Thanks!

- The fittings the water lines attach to are welded to the tank as the tanks are too thin for threads.
Access is from both sides (in and out) plumbing wires and gas lines need removed.
Use your smart phone and take lots of pics to help reassemble.
Good Luck, Mike - Read my experience:

Today's reply, probably the last of the thread.
What is in common with your question is I had experience with a 10 gallon water heater. They differ between brands.
The unit carrying the heater (coach, fifth wheeler, TT...) will vary the access to it.
I'd be surprised if your water line was actually welded to the tank, (access with an arc weld or lit torch?) but then there is still a lot to be learned about water heaters.
