Yep, it runs on 12 V.
The converter is a Magnetek Power Plus, 45 Amp.
I tried that already, but the paperclip wasn't a high enough gauge to handle the amperage and I didn't want to use my matches next to the propane lines :)
GSHW-2 Is the correct model, sorry for not posting that.
Good point, I've never considered a vehicle old unless it's from the 60's :)
I'll try connecting the water heater directly to the battery and post the results.
Where would the best place to purchase a smart converter be? Is there a model recommended for replacing ours?
Thanks everyone :)
