Expert Answers about Chevrolet RV Water Heaters


  • Troubleshooting a Fogatti Tankless Water Heater That is Always Too Hot
  • The Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR does require the Camco RV Water Heater Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve # CAM10423 to be installed. The Camco RV Water Heater Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve # CAM10423 protects your RV's water heater from excessive temperature and water pressure. If this was not installed, that would be why your water heater is always too hot and you would want to have it installed.

  • Can 6 Gallon Hott Rod RV Water Heater Conversion Kit Be Used for 10 Gallon Water Heater Tank
  • If you're using the 6 Gallon Hott Rod RV Water Heater Conversion Kit # DGR6VP for a 10 Gallon application then that would mean you're overworking the kit which could, in turn, burn it up. For your 10 Gallon water heater I recommend using the 10 Gallon Hott Rod RV Water Heater Conversion Kit # DGR10VP instead.

  • Will The Excel RV Tankless Water Heater # EX93FR Turn on Randomly When Not In Use?
  • The Excel RV Tankless Water Heater # EX93FR monitors water pressure to determine when it turns on. If it senses a change in the water pressure of 2psi it will begin to heat water. Depending on where you are located I know some campgrounds will experience a large pressure drop when multiple users are using the water. Since your heater senses pressure drop that would confuse this water heater.

  • Troubleshooting No Hot Water On Tap With An Atwood RV Water Heater
  • If you're sure that your Atwood water heater # DMC74FR is actually heating up the water but you're not getting hot water at your faucets then you must have a shut off valve somewhere in line from the water heater to the faucets. If the water isn't actually heating up then the regulator is most likely the issue and needs to be replaced. In my personal opinion, since Atwood has been dissolved into Dometic I recommend replacing the water heater altogether with a tankless option like the...

  • Troubleshooting RV Water Heater With No Hot Water
  • Most of the more recent Atwood water heaters as well as other manufacturers us a plastic tank. The plastic tanks don't need the anode rod to keep the tank from corrosion. It sounds like you have a problem with the heating element since you don't have any hot water if you have an electric heater. I recommend checking your pilot and regulator if you have propane heater.

  • Troubleshooting the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater, Low Water Pressure
  • Your Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater, # LSB64FR requires a minimum water pressure to operate, ideal is 40-45 PSI but should still work below 20. If you have water pressure much below that, or it fluctuates dropping much below, this is probably your issue. I suggest you consider the Camco RV Water Pressure Regulator, # CAM40064 to keep the water pressure in the 40 PSI to 50 PSI range.

  • Troubleshooting A Dometic RV Water Heater That's Overheating Water

  • Furrion Tankless Water Heater Installation Troubleshooting
  • It sounds like your Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 60,000 BTU - 16" x 16" Door Item # FR98SR is getting too much voltage to it.

You can run a new wire to the battery or use an AC/DC power converter panel like the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 60 Amp Item # PD4560K18LS8 to run the proper voltage to the new water heater.

  • The DSI FLT light just means that the water heater has tried to ignite and kick on and wasn't able to. This can be caused by low propane levels, a bad propane regulator, or a faulty water heater.
