Water Heater replacement

[Bowhunter61]

Anyone replaced a water heater in a Fuzion 302 or comparable? Wondering where I will have to access the water lines at? Thinking it is behind the panel in the basement area where the pump is located.
Unit is down in TN on my land in the pole building. Anticipating I am going to have to replace it because I screwed up and never drained the tank before the winter. Winterized all the rest but then left without draining the water heater (long story).
Usually not too cold down there but they had a good 2 weeks of cold weather in western TN.
Thinking of going tankless anyways.

Thanks

I've never installed one Excel Vent-Free Tankless Propane Water Heater, Low Pressure Startup, 1.6GPM

Ok thanks
Good to know, I was thinking that is what I would have to do
Remove that panel to get to the back

I posted this on your other thread as well.

We had a continuous installed in our Fuzion because we are full-timing with access to water and sewer so no issues there. When we go “camping” or just living in a campground for a few days it’s not an issue unless we don’t have sewer. If I was just using it for camping trip I would absolutely stay with the regular water heater but ensure it was gas and electric. I always turned on the electric on our old unit once we got setup and never had to worry about hot water. We also had a 10 gallon and that helped too.

Hopefully this will be a non-issue for you once you get to inspect the rig.
