After a hard wind driven rain, water can blow inside the heater through the vents and cause a short between the electrode and ground. It does not take much. It will throw the DSI fault LED on and require a reset.
He's in Southern California. I don't think we've ever had a hard wind driven rain here, at least not in recent years.
LOL.....no rain at all?
Towing in even a light rain turns into a hard wind driven rain as soon as you hit about 30 MPH, even in southern CA. The steel door on water heaters is not exactly water tight as well, and it does not take much moisture to ground out the electrode for the dsi. It fixes itself once you do get it to fire regardless if it's moisture.
