98 Hitchiker II Water Heater Wiring
Bought our Hitchiker II 5th wheel and need to replace the water heater. It is a combination gas/electric unit. No problem with that except, I don't understand the electrical. Specifically this...there is a remote rocker switch and indicator light that has DC running thru it. Is that for the gas igniter? How does it work.....when does the light come on? Also, there is a wall switch above the counter that has a pilot light next to it. What does that do? Is it the on/off switch for the electric portion? Any explanation helps. Thanks.1.4KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Water Heater Won't Work

You have to check it out first. It has electronic ignition. Furnace worked just fine so propane is present.232Views0likes0CommentsWater Heater Won't Work
I just bought a used 5th wheel. 1997 Hitchiker II. Good shape but I cannot get the hot water heater to do anything. No indication of propane or any indication it's even trying to light. The heater is an Atwood GC6AA-9E. How do I troubleshoot this unit? Any tips?1KViews0likes7CommentsWater Damage. Trying to FInd Source. What To Do?
i have water that is getting in the walls of my 5th wheel. Only on one side of the trailer It is a 1998 Hitchhiker II. I bought the camper last year. I notice water had entered the interior on the wall on one side. I got on the roof, checked all rooftop components and sealed all cracks with Dicor. I also noticed the edges of the rubber roof were cracked. I used dicor to seal those roof edge cracks. Still having a problem. The rubber roof lays over the edge and @ 1/2" or so below that edge is a trim strip. Directly below that trim is the extrusion for the awning. Not sure whare the water is entering. Should I remove the trim, apply eternabond and reapply the trim? What to do?985Views0likes7CommentsRe: GFCI Won't Reset

If you are sure the GFCI receptacle, by itself with no downstream wiring connected, won't reset with power to it, you have either a faulty GFCI device or you have a ground fault. What is the AC power source? Are you at home or at a campground? Are you using an extension cord? I am connected at home via extension cord. Have been just fine the all of a sudden this gfci issue.501Views0likes0Comments
