They are little poppet tstats,&nbsp; not adjustable, and they're set HOT.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>&nbsp;I have a mod you can search for if you want to add an adjustable tstat on the propane side to&nbsp; bring the temperature down to something comfortable. Saves water while boondocking because you don't have to waste water while you're adjusting the temp.&nbsp;</div>]]>

If there is then something strange is going on, which would be a problem in itself. Unless of course the outside rocker was on and the water was already hot from running the AC element, then there would be no need for the LP to come on when you turned on the LP heater switch.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>So, I suggest you try again to run the gas with the AC element on to be sure that what you think was happening was indeed the case. Shut both systems off and let everything cool off first or run some hot water out so that both systems will be calling for heat, then turn on the AC and then the propane.&nbsp;</div>]]>

IIRC, I had the internal breaker on, external rocker switch off, and the LP wouldn't come on. No gas flow, no clicking. I turned off the internal breaker, and now all is well, burning fine. ]]>

Yet unless I'm dead wrong if you go outside and open the water heater panel and throw the little switch to on the heater its for only turning on the electric element in the heater and not the propane. If I am some how wrong then I hope some one tells me otherwise.&nbsp;]]>

Then when you get back you can look into fixing the heater<br>]]>

DSI fault light doesn't even flicker when I flip the water heater switch. Stove and fridge are burning just fine. No ticking from the igniter, and no gas flowing at the water heater. All breakers are good, all fuses are good (continuity check w DMM). ]]>
