    Hot Water Heater Problem - Gas Valve Not Opening

    Thanks for all the input folks. It seems I have figured it out and have two problems. I borrowed a friends cicuit board which was identical to mine and the heater runs just fine so I know I need to replace that. I've always smelt a slight odor of propane in that area and have discovered that the...

    condensation around AC vents

    Thanks John I will try that. It happens on every vent...all 7 so I don't believe it's a roof leak. I just put a new coating on the roof after having a leak around the shower skylight so if it was that it should be resovled....and lots of caulking.

    condensation around AC vents

    I don't know if this is a common problem or not but last summer was my 1st experience in RVing and I had a terrible problem with condensation around the interior ac vents. It was pretty severe at times and has discolored the headliner in places. I'm raring to go again but would like to know if...

    Hot Water Heater Problem - Gas Valve Not Opening

    Thanks Stu. It's the burner that keeps reigniting every sec or two. I'll replace the board once I can find good parts store. In Sarasota fl right now but heading up to Tarpon Springs on Monday for a week. Hopefully there's one up that way. There's a parts store here that I know has the part but...

    Hot Water Heater Problem - Gas Valve Not Opening

    I did what you suggested Lou. Cleaned the electrodes and set the gap ( 1st time too close and it wouldn't ignite ) 2nd time it ignited.....but now it doesn't shut off like before but keeps going on off every couple of seconds. There's a clicking in the solenoid as this happens. Now I'm even more...

    Hot Water Heater Problem - Gas Valve Not Opening

    Good information on here folks but none helps my particular problem.  I have an AtwoodG6a-7a water heater that won't stay lit after ignition. It ignites and looks great for about 5 secs then cuts off. Is something failing to recognize that the unit has ignited? I've cleaned all the electrical...

    Converter switch?

    Maybe I'm calling it the wrong name but it' a switch ( similar to a light switch ) next to the breaker panel that's under the fridge. Maybe the previous owner added it for some reason but everything seems to be working now it's turned on. Is there any reason why it should be turned off? Bob

    Converter switch?

    When should this be turned off..if ever? I'd been having all kinda problems until someone flipped the switch on..then wow most problems solved. I was wondering why it was turned of in the first place. When should it be switched off....if ever? Thanks Bob

    Thanks for the input Al. The weather up in Philly has been a concern to me but I'll only be up there for 7-10 days and according to the weather forecast only a couple of nights that may be of concern. I'll be parked in my daughters driveway and will be keeping the interior warm as I'll be using...

    Thanks for the help folks. I found the propane leak detector, flipped the switch, and bingo I have gas to cook with and run the fridge. Also a local RV dealer put me in touch with a local mechanic who turned out to be a fantastic guy and an expert on Onan generators. He soon diagnosed the...

The sellers gave...
