Re: no hot water electric or LP
I have just now today been able to get back to my water heater problem. ON the LP side, I do have 12vdc at the switch and at the tstat but no spark. Could it be the control board? Not sure. On the electric side, I see the 12vdc at the inside switch but nothing at the tstat. The relay is not accessible unless I pull the unit out. The switch at the face of the heater has no slack in the wire so I was not able to pull away to check. Any help would be appreciated.505Views0likes0CommentsRe: no hot water electric or LP
Yes, it has been used for 5 winters in Florida. Last spring before we left the electric would get too hot and come out the pressure relief valve. The LP worked fine. I took the switches from the wall and see 12V passing through both LP and electric with a multimeter. I do not see 12 V at either t-stat. I cleaned out the LP tube and orifice. The battery is at 12.8. I had the generator running to provide shore power. I am running out of time since the RV in a storage lot and I am using water from fresh tank. Tomorrow night will be 16 degrees and I think I should drain that tank and winterize.504Views0likes0CommentsRe: no hot water electric or LP
The SW6D is a direct ignition water heater with no pilot light. Are there any symptoms when you try to light on Propane? Nothing when using LP Is there a light illuminated on the power switch in the RV? Power switch does light. If you turn on the water heater do you hear or smell any propane? NO Do you hear the igniter clicking or sparking? NO Do you have a digital multimeter to check for power at various places? Yes, I will be working on it tomorrow.

Our first extended camping trip lasted 21 days. When we got home Rylee, a 2-year old lab did not want to leave where the camper was parked. He wanted no part of coming in to the house. It took 1 1/2 hours with a lot of ball playing and coaxing to get him to come in. Any one else experience this behavior in their puppies?3.2KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Opinions about KZ Toy Haulers?
We just bought the MXT303 in August. We really likes the layout with both sides of the bed accessible without crawling over one and other. HOWEVER, on our first extended trip (4,200 miles) the fresh water had severe leak where I had to shut off the water until needed. That was repaired in Pocatello, Idaho by a KZ dealer but after heading back we realized the water pump would not pull the fresh water from the tank. Then the black water tank has a bad valve so the solids cannot be drained but leaks out the rest so that when you take off the cap.....YECH!! The satellite and local cable TV outlets on the outside were reversed so we did without TV until the Idaho dealer recognized the problem. The weather stripping around the 2 push out windows is all coming off. When the utilities were run through the cupboards, it looks like the holes were drilled with a 3 lb. hammer. Now, it's back to the dealer in Ohio to get this all fixed. Glad it's not the middle of summer.361Views0likes0Comments
