I am new as of 5 minutes ago, so forgive if I am posting in the wrong place. Last fall I purchased a 2009 fleetwood evolution e4 pop up camper. I have ran into tons of problems in my short ownership. When I winterized it everything worked. This spring/summer I got it ready to go camping and unfortunately the hot water heater won't work. We weren't using the shower this trip so I ignored it. I also bought 2 new batteries and took off camping. Before bed I turned on the heater. It started but then quickly stopped when it didn't ignite. It told me my low voltage. I frantically turned all the lights off as well as the fridge. Jump started the batteries with the truck and reset the heater/pulled fuses etc until it lite. No issue and heater worked fantastic. I then turned the fridge back on right after getting the heater going. To my dismay the fridge wouldn't ignite. I let the batteries charge some more and tried again but still nothing. It currently flashes red light when gas is selected. Interestingly enough it runs fine on battery. I can't figure out why it won't lite in the presence of enough voltage. Is there a reset on the fridge? I pulled the fuse and battry power with no success. Is there a different issue? The fridge is a 3way dometic fridge model RM 8551
While looking into this I decided to look into the hot water heater. I don't hear/smell gas. I followed the short line and didn't see any kinks in the tubing. My stove/heater work so I have gas however they are on separate lines. Is there air in this particular line? How do I bleed the lines? Also i dont hear a clicking sound of the igniter. Will it attempt to ignite even if there isn't gas present? I was thinking back to when i replaced the batteries and i crossed the lines and sparks flew everywhere! (Color coded backwards for some reason....) in that process i blew a fuse which i replaced. Would that have any bearing on the hot water heater? Blew a control board or something? I am at a loss. The water heater is a suburban sw6d- gas only.
Rv places are over a month out and i am suppose to go camping for my wife's bday in a couple weeks. Any thoughts? Thanks!
