Are you sure??? Look for a little switch down by the plug you replaced. Speaking of the plug, did you put a new anode in or just a plug?

anode plug, yep $20. at southavenrv.
The old plug must have been out for a while. I thought it maybe 5/8th thread. But looking at southavenrv, it had to be 3/4". I checked at 3 auto part stores for a set of pipe tap loaner tools, nope just bolts. We chased the threads with a 3/4" pipe nipple and wire brush used for cleaning copper fitting for soldering. So I wouldn't have to buy the 3/4 pipe tap at $27. That took a while but it saved me that money. And changing the pressure valve, we should have seen some wires running to the water heater. Only wires I've seen in that area are for the rear trailer lights and the bedside table, not listed on the breaker panel either.

Yep, new phone for christmas and I can't send pictures with it.

It did great this weekend, well sunday through today. A/C was 68 during the day, had to turn it up at night. Our 8 month old grand daughter would dive into the new memory foam mattress and asleep in minutes for an afternoon nap. Fishing wasn't bad, we don't eat them. The plumber son-in-law will have all the fish tomorrow.
We stayed at Riverside campground, at the 5 mile take out. Most of the views weren't worth looking at, but a few were.
We stopped at the one and only rest area on hwy 63, came back to the rig and had a flat on the trailer. I did notice a piece of metal in the thread when I rolled it. The parking lot is paved the old way of paying. Tar with crushed stone. I could of used a cold shower then.

Sounds like you almost have that puppy wooped Cane!Having the knowledge to do those repairs yourself sure saves a lot of dough!And you get the satisfaction of knowing it was fixed right!A little time and money well spent! Congrats on your camper!I hope it serves you well for a long time!

The gas valve on the water heater wouldn't light while camping. I tried it again when we got home, still won't light. I looked online and local dealers for a new gas valve and an electric element kit. $350 to $400 with sales tax or shipping added.
Does anyone have a tankless heater in their camper? Could one be installed in the same space as this 6 gallon heater?
We don't have plans to camp anywhere there isn't 110v power.

I got one answer.

We have specific units available that are certified to be installed in Mobile and Modular Homes. These units include both our Luxury series and Value series units. Unfortunately, our tankless water heaters cannot be used in houseboats or RVs.
We thank you for considering Rinnai, and please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
