Atwood heater problem (Problem solved)
My Atwood hot water heater needs a new element so we can have hot water when we are plugged into shore power. Problem is, the place to change out the element is inside under the fridge and can only be almost accessed by pulling out some drawers. Sooooo do I have to go outside and pull out the entire heater or what? The unit is a 1999 National Tradewinds 7370 Any ideas are welcome.
Working in the tight space was a challenge but after checking the element, I found the present one was ok and there was just a wire loose. Replaced the wire and moved the switch to the wall just left of the fridge so I could turn it on and off easily. Problem solved. After that little job I would agree that to change out the element, it would be better to take the unit out of the bus to work on it. Thanks for the replies.
