Draining & Storage:
Drain the water heater to prevent freeze
damage if the motorhome is to be stored during
the winter months.
1. Turn off electrical power to the water
heater.
2. Shut off the primary LP-Gas valve.
3. Open low point drains.
4. Open both Hot and Cold on all faucets.
5. Remove water heater drain plug.
6. Turn the bypass valve to the bypass
position.
NOTE:
Be sure to refill the water heater with
water before resuming operation.
Troubleshooting:
Check the burner tube for obstruction
if the water heater fails to light. Insects
may make nests in the burner tube. It is
recommended to clean the burner tube
with a brush and not compressed air.
Compressed air may not fully remove the
obstruction.

If the water heater switch indicator does
not illuminate and the water heater does
not light, ensure interior house power is
on. Check for a blown fuse in the house
distribution panel. Ensure shore power
is plugged in and working and the A/C
breaker is on.
If the water heater fails to operate after
checking the fuses, the high-temperature
safety limit fuse may be blown. Have
a qualified technician inspect the water
heater.
WaSher/Dryer prepareD
NOTE:
Washer/Dryer Prepared is not
available on all units.
The washer/dryer “prep” package includes
the following items:
Color coded water supply lines. A red
line for hot; a blue line for cold.
A 1½" water drain line with threaded cap,
P-trap and an automatic vent cap.
A 120 Volt receptacle located in the
compartment.
NOTE:
Sidewall dryer vents are not part of
the prep package. If a sidewall vent is
to be installed, properly seal vent to
sidewall.



If a washer/dryer is to be installed at a later
date, follow all the manufacturer’s installation
instructions.
Listed here are further instructions which
should be adhered to for safe and reliable
operation:
DO NOT connect the clothes dryer
exhaust duct to any other duct, vent or
chimney.
DO NOT terminate the exhaust
duct beneath the
motorhome.
Use proper length
fastener when
attaching exhaust
vent to exterior
sidewall. Stainless
steel fasteners are
best suited for this as
they will not rust.
If the cabinet or
closet in which
a washer/dryer
is installed does
not have vented
louvered doors,
the manufacturer’s
installation
instructions may
require installation of
vented doors or vents
to be installed for
sufficient circulation
of air.
