I accidentally turned the power on to the tank with the rocker switch without enough water in the tank. It did burn the element out. With the power off to the tank check continuity with an ohm meter across the element. Might be one wire to ground.]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2026 21:25:23 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16450&PID=155604#155604 Need help with water heater : No familiar with the 2025 R180,... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16450&PID=155557#155557 Author: gpokluda

No familiar with the 2025 R180, but if it is like the rest of the Rpod series, there should be a rocker switch just underneath the air feed tube in the lower left corner of the heater. You have to access it from the outside. You should also check the reset buttons above it. Make sure the water heater us full of water otherwise the element will burn out. Finally, there is a breaker behind the power center door. Make sure that hasn't tripped.

Hi guys we r rpod newbies on r first night out. We r hooked up to KOA water and electric. We watched a video that said we dont need to use prpane to heat r watwr if we r hooked up to city water and electric. So we went outside to "toggle" the "black" switch but ours was white???..We have a 2025 rpod 180. Is the switch to turn off the propane to the water heater black or white? And now we cant get the water heater to come on at all. After we have toggled the white switch both ways? Any idea what we have done wrong? ]]> Tue, 02 Jun 2026 01:22:59 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16450&PID=155556#155556
