Itasc Elipse Water Heater Access

O6 model, Suburban Water Heater.

I don't have a quick access panel. Is this the only access?

As best as I can tell from the photo you posted... that’s not the water heater. That’s the propane coach heater.

The one near the rear of the coach on the curb side has the big blower in it. So I'm guessing the one in the picture is it.

As I said... that's the Propane Heater for the coach. It's not the water heater.

What year is your Itasca Eclipse?

Turns out I have two coach heaters. The Atwood water heater is next to the batteries on the right side.

Yes, all RVs do. A furnace heater - which is what your photo was showing and it provides heat to the inside of your coach. And a Water Heater - in your case an Atwood 10 gal, dual fuel propane and electric.

I was just looking through the '06 parts list to try to point it out to you.

Glad you found it. Is there something wrong with it?

I am an 06 Itasca Ellipse. I am servicing everything before another big trip. Just a flush and a pressure relief valve and a new drain plug. Don't think anyone has been in here for a long time. What I meant by two coach heaters is I believe I have two on the left side. The bedroom has its own thermostat.
