Propane Water Heater

[Mr Lars]

The water heater in our ‘95 Bounder, if not used for a couple weeks will sometimes not lite on the first try. Flip the toggle switch back off, then back on, the red light will illuminate for second or two, and you hear the flame igniting. Then good to go for the length of our stay. We make sure the water is shut off before we go to bed at nite, and when we travel into town, or know it will be several hours be needing hot water.

That is probably due to the propane in the line having vented and replaced by air. It is pretty common.
