    Water heater warning

    I was quite surprised today when I pulled off the panel to access my water pump and found that my water heater was hot even though it was empty. Guess I can't use the rookie excuse since I've had travel trailers for over 10 years now. Had always assumed there was some sort of safe guard to keep...

    My Atwood water heater is in need of some repair. The 120 element was not working so I pulled the heater out. I found that the safety sensers may not be touching the tank. The foam rubber that holds them against the tank have deteriorated and are bulging out. Mainly the whole front plate is...

    Water heater plug

    I recently purchased a 2016 Coachman Mirada. After having it inspected, I was told that I have to replace the plug on the water heater. Previous owner replaced the plastic plug with a metal one. My question is do I need to put teflon tape on the plug or just use the plug without the tape?
