*** Dripping relief valve ****

We have a suburban water heater. Had our relief valve replaced but it still seems to drip off and on. Both on gas and electric. Although more on gas. One rv tech says to check the temp of water on gas then elecrtic. I did and they are just a few degrees different. The rv guy told me that he has had some situations when it just will drip no matter how many Valves you replace. His suggestion was to hook up a little tube so that the dripping water stays outside of the coach. Any ideas?

At the expense of a small amount of hot water capacity, on a Suburban there are plastic dip tubes in the inlet and outlet. The top one points up, bottom one down. If you pull the top dip tube out, you can either just leave it out or cut it off a bit to make the air pocket larger.
This doesn't work with Atwood- they use welded in dip tubes.
