I don't know why it would be losing the air pocket, but I guess it could. Seems like it would do the same on gas or electric, but obviously the electric is running hotter.
Our trip is ending tomorrow and we'll be back in the cold weather. So I'll mess with it when spring sets in. Thanks for the tips.
Loss of air pocket happens...air gets absorbed into water, air gets bled off during usage etc. It happens.
Is it an Atwood or a Suburban?
IF Atwood....is it older than 2004 model?
Prior to 2004 Atwood used separate t-stats for electric & propane.
If Suburban...they use separate t-stats for electric & propane.
So if separate t-stats.then electric could be slightly overheating on electric
