I 'think' I got everything ready to go finally!
Got the propane tank bracket remounted and a new tank full of propane.
stopped and picked up a few nylon drain plugs for the hwh and installed one. finally figured out how to light the pilot light (thought it was electric) and got hot water running last night.
installed a new t-stat as the dometic one was broken in our brand new camper.
so crossing fingers we should be ready for the maiden voyage this weekend. Can't wait to create some new memories with the family.
Thank you again for all the help and support. Hopefully I can return the favor to someone else down the road.
Good luck, hope you have a fun and uneventful trip!
As an aside I thought all new water heaters were direct spark ignition, can't believe they're making a pilot based design. I guess I have something to look out for next time I'm trailer shopping!
