Be sure to shut off the electric mode when not in use, if you accidentally run it with the water heater tank empty it will burn up your heating element. You can use the dedicated circuit breaker in the rpod panel to turn it off if you don't want to go outside and use the switch. ]]> Wed, 19 Aug 2020 08:38:10 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13917&PID=135452#135452 Hot water heater 2018 R-Pod 180 : Never tried on electric mode.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13917&PID=135450#135450 Author: BeagleMom

17 1/2 Rpod 180 Hood River
My Propane line going to the water heater was kinked from the factory.
Might be worth a look

If the water isn't hot at the tap, then check the position of the bypass valves. The ones leading to the top and bottom of the water heater should both be parallel to the lines. The one between should be perpendicular to the line. If the one between is parallel, then hot and cold water are being mixed and the best you will get is warm water.]]> Mon, 17 Aug 2020 19:24:54 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13917&PID=135391#135391 Hot water heater 2018 R-Pod 180 : Besides the above question, we... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13917&PID=135388#135388 Author: podwerkz

Besides the above question, we also need to know if the burner is coming on, and staying on for at least 5-10 minutes or so, when in propane mode. 

If the water is already hot from the electric element being on, then the burner wont need to be on for very long.

My hot water heater doesn't heat water too well, has trouble firing up and fault light comes on. I've checked fuses, propane and made sure I've run hot water faucet before trying. Does anyone know what causes this? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Thank you! ]]> Mon, 17 Aug 2020 15:39:22 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13917&PID=135386#135386
