Howdy, another question about the new camper.
I have a suburban SW6P water heater. My burner turns on for 30 seconds or so and then just cuts off without really doing any water heating. The pilot also never stays lit after cut off and has to be relit by hand. I got everything working in the driveway and the burner stayed on until the water was piping hot. Now it just cuts off with no real reason.
I swapped gas tanks with the grill and also blew air threw it. I ordered a brush to try to clean out the burner tube. The flame is fairly blue with some orange tinge on the outside.
Where do I go from here?
Thanks everyone!!
