My 2006 Winnebago View has a dual electric or gas water heater which I like to use in electric mode when we have hookups. If I leave it on for more than about 20 minutes, the relief valve starts dumping hot water on the ground. This has never been an issue when using the heater in gas mode.
I'm assuming the two systems have separate thermostats and that the electric one is malfunctioning. I work around the problem by not leaving it on more than 15 minutes at a time. If I forget, the water gets steaming hot and the relief valve fires.
Is replacing the thermo on the electric heater a DIY job? I'm fairly handy, well, for a musician.
