Expert Answers about RV Water Inlets


  • Troubleshooting Backflow From The City Water And Holding Tank Water Inlets
  • Depending on how your plumbing is setup you could have a check valve at the water inlets and also in certain spots throughout the system. On my dad's fifth wheel he has specific valves he has to shut off or on depending on whether he's using city water or holding tank water. I recommend first replacing the city water inlet since that one should have a check valve attached to it. We have a variety of options like the RV City Water Inlet with Brass Check Valve # 37262165, which has a 1/2"...

  • Fluctuation of Water Temp of Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater
  • The Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater, # FR93FR uses a vortex system mixing the heated water with cold to eliminate fluctuations and reduce the risk of hot water scalding. It sounds like you may need to adjust the water control valve. I have linked the manufactures User Manual below which has a note listed to ensure your inlet water pressure is not greater than 65 psi. If you are not using an RV water pressure regulator I highly recommend that you get one. I prefer the 90-degree angled...

  • Replacement Water Lines and Fresh Water Inlet for Pop Up Camper
  • We do have water inlet fittings, like the Valterra Water Inlet for RVs # A01-0176LFVP, that would replace the entry fitting on the outside of your pop up camper if you decide to replace that fitting. To replace the water lines inside/under your camper, typically PEX pipes and fittings are used to make those connections. We do not have these available for purchase, but they are usually available at your local hardware store.

  • Troubleshooting Water Intrusion Between Gravity Fill Mount and Inner Fitting
  • The Valterra Water Inlet for RVs - White - Gravity Fill # A01-2003VP comes with a putty tape to ensure you don't have water intrusion at the mounting holes and flange. It sounds like you are having issue with the inner bayonetted fitting. The manufacturer does not mention any sealing between these parts, but I can see how that could be an issue. I'd use the silicone gasket maker # LT37467 to secure that if it were me. Then you still have the ability to remove that inner unit and reseal...

  • Troubleshooting A "0" And "4" Error Code On A Fogatti Tankless Water Heater
  • A "0" error code means that your outlet temperature probe is open or shorted and a "4" error code means that your e inlet temperature probe is faulty and the inlet temperature probe is open or shorted. I recommend checking that your Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB44FR is getting a full 12 volts of power at the unit with a multimeter # PT89ZR and that it has a proper ground connection. If both the power and ground are fine then you'll need to reach out to the manufacturer for replacement...

  • Troubleshooting A Non-Working Fogatti Tankless Water Heater
  • The Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR requires the following to properly function: 8-13" WC gas pressure (11"WC pressure preferred). 14.5-116 PSI water pressure (40-45 PSI preferred). 12VDC electrical power. First test your voltage using a multimeter like the Digital Multimeter # PT89ZR. If you're not receiving enough voltage you may be too far from the battery and need to increase the gauge of the wire. You should have 12AWG but may need to switch to 10AWG if your wire is travelling...

  • Troubleshooting A Fogatti Tankless Water Heater That Turns On But Doesn't Heat Water
  • It's a bit strange that you're not even getting an error code. Is there still water coming from the hot tap on your faucet or nothing? If nothing there's probably a shut off valve somewhere on the water line preventing flow and cause the unit to not kick on. If there is still water coming from the hot tap then you'll want to run through the requirements for proper unit operation. The Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR requires the following to properly function: 8-13" WC gas...

  • Troubleshooting A Fogatti Tankless RV Water Heater That Powers On But Won't Ignite
  • Since you've already check the electrical side of the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR the only other thing to check is the gas pressure, which would require reaching out to a licensed technician to test the line. There is an internal plastic cap on the gas inlet that you would need to remove prior to hooking up the gas line. The cap is small enough that a fitting can still screw on so it's common that people leave it on not knowing what it is and then have no gas for their unit...

  • Furrion Hot Water Heater Not Getting Hot
  • According to Furrion, there are a host of possible issues that could be occurring if the water is not getting very hot using the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR93FR. One issue is that the cold water could be mixing into the hot water side, and Furrion says you will want to check all valves inside and outside to ensure they are closed, and check the shower head valve to make sure it is not partially closed. It could also be low gas inlet pressure so you may want to check your regulator...

  • Troubleshooting An RV Faucet That Doesn't Let Hot Water Flow Through
  • If there's no hot water coming from your tap then you could either have an issue with the water source, the water heater, or the faucet. First check the water source. Start from the water heater and trace the line to that faucet and ensure that there aren't any closed valves preventing hot water from flowing. Typically there will be a quarter-turn valve at the water heater and at the connection point for the faucet to make removal/repair easier and prevent water from going everywhere....

  • Troubleshooting A Fogatti Tankless Water Heater That Isn't Heating Up Water Past 84 Degrees
  • Your Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 41,800 Btu - White # LSB64FR could not be reaching temperatures above 84 degrees for a few different reasons. The first thing to check is the water pressure and gas pressure as too low of either of these will cause the heater to malfunction. This unit has a minimum water pressure minimum requirement of 14.5 psi and maximum of 116 psi with the recommendation of 40-60 psi for optimal use. It has a gas inlet pressure minimum...

  • Troubleshooting A Furrion Tankless Water Heater That Won't Light
  • The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 is able to have its pressure adjusted. You'll want to check that the pressure is actually 11" WC. If you have other items running at the same time you could be losing pressure. If you get the pressure checked at the # FR93FR and you are receiving 11" WC then your water heater has an internal issue and you'll need to contact Furrion for replacement.

  • Troubleshooting An EC Error Code On A Fogatti Tankless Water Heater
  • The Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR has a maximum inlet pressure of 13" WC so your 16" water column is too much for the unit to handle. Your trailer's regulator needs to be readjusted by a qualified technician or replaced to get your pressure back down to an acceptable level. Depending on the style of your regulator we should have the correct replacement for you. For a vertical regulator you'll want part # 108220. For a horizontal regulator you'll want part # 108221. For a dual...

  • Troubleshooting Water Back Flow When Filling Fresh Water Tank On a 2019 Jayco Jay Flight SLX Baja
  • All of the fresh water tank fillers like the Valterra # A01-0031VP you found are only going to have a short amount of hose. I recommend removing the access panel to access the hose which travels from your inlet to the fresh water tank. It may have a kink or need to be replaced so the water will no longer back flow out of the inlet unless the tank is full. As campers do not always have the best build quality they may have installed a hose which is to short or long which caused a kink and...

  • Troubleshooting A Fogatti Tankless Water Heater That Wont Function
  • First you'll want to ensure the the on/off switch (pictured below) on your Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR is in the "on" position. The next step would be to check your voltage using a multimeter like # PTW2992. If you're not receiving enough voltage you may be too far from the battery and need to increase the gauge of the wire. You should have 12AWG but may need to switch to 10AWG if your wire is travelling 60 feet. If your voltage is fine the it's time to check the gas. Fogatti...

  • Fogatti Tankless Water Heater Troubleshooting
  • I spoke with Fogatti and the steps to troubleshoot your # LSB64FR issue are as follows: Any error codes? If so we can look through the manual to determine the solution. What is measured voltage at the water heater? If you're not receiving the required voltage it could allow the control panel to work but not have enough power to run the heater. You'll need 12VDC electrical power. Where is the unit grounded? If you're not properly grounded this could cause energy spikes that can damage...

  • Troubleshooting A Fogatti Tankless Water Heater That Turns On But Won't Ignite
  • You wouldn't find exposed wire to test the voltage on the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR, and would instead just poke into the wire casing with your test lead and then cover the hole with some electrical tape after you're done. If the control panel/thermostat is powering on then the issue is most likely with your gas pressure being too low. These units can some times have a cap on the gas inlet that allows you to still thread on your gas line with the cap in place. You'll want...

  • Furrion Fireplace Throwing 88 Error Code After Inlet/Outlet Is Cleaned
  • Cleaning the inlet and outlets on your Furrion RV Electric Fireplace # F30SW15ABL may not permanently solve your issue if the airflow in your trailer is not adequate. Having inadequate airflow in your trailer will cause your fireplace to continually throw the 88 code no matter how many times you clean the inlets and outlets. I suggest you look around for other places where airflow is blocked and see if there are some places you can increase your airflow. Additionally, if you use this...
