I would rather sit in a chair by the RV in AZ than stand behind a snowblower in Iowa. Don't know when we are leaving yet.

The battery relay (soleniod) could have badly pitted internal contacts especially for that age of the coach. They are usually found near the house batteries and possibly mounted on the frame. They look like a starter solenoid. You can measure the voltage on both sides of it. Good luck.

Check for good ground connections especially behind the gas valve. The metal behind the valve could be corroded.

For what it is worth here is my experience with my Atwood water heater. For years mine was very intermittent and didn't know if it was going to work or not. I had replaced the circuit board several times and also the ignitor with no luck. Due to what appeared to be a corrosive look of the metal...

Happy Birthday Betty and many more.     John and Carol

A big THANK YOU to all the rally hosts for all their hard work to put on a really great and fun filled Texas style rally. John & Carol

We really like ours but like so many the controls do not show the numbers anymore. A word of caution let the air down before going over any mountains. They can get hard as a rock or even rupture at higher altitudes. Good Luck

Betty Save a flag for us. Thanks John
