Hi All
Don't you just love older RV's?
We have an Atwood water heater with electronic ignition. If I shut it off at night to save propane I have a hell of a time getting it to light up and stay on. I turn on the inside switch and I can here the igniter fire and I can hear the propane ignite. Then it stops and the "pilot out" light comes on. Then I shut it off and the cycle repeats 5 to 10 times. I have been leaving the heater on at night and this morning it happened again but corrected itself.
Overnight temperatures have been in the high 30's and low 40's here. It seems to be affected by the cold but sometimes I have to position a chair in front of the door to block the wind. Seems like the wind will blow it out if it comes from a certain direction. I can't get a technician here until January 16. Anyone have any ideas of what I can do to fix this?
