Water Heater

Your RV may be equipped with either a tank (storage) water heater or tank less water heater.  
The following is an overview of both systems.  For detailed operating instructions, refer to 
the manufacturer’s owner’s manual.

Gas/Electric DSI Tank (Storage) Water Heater System (if so equipped)

Read the safety and operating information in the manufacturer’s user guide before attempt-

ing to activate the water heater.  Make sure the water heater is filled with water before use 

as even momentary operation of the water heater without water in it may result in damage to 

the tank and/or controls.  Always open both the hot and cold water faucets when filling the 

fresh water tank to allow air pockets to be forced out of the water heater.

The water heater manufacturer has preset the sensing limit to maintain the water temperature 
when the water heater is activated.  The thermostat on your water heater is not adjustable and 
is designed to maintain a water temperature of 130°F (54°C).

The water heater does not have a pilot.  It is equipped with an ignition device which auto-
matically lights the burner.  Do not try to light the burner by hand.

Operating instructions

1. 

Turn OFF all electric power to the water heater.

2. 

Turn OFF the propane supply.

3. 

Wait five minutes for the propane to clear the area.  

If you smell propane STOP!

  Fol-

low the safety instructions listed in the manufacturer’s owner’s manual. If you do not 
smell propane, go to the next step.

4. 

Turn ON the propane supply.

5. 

Turn ON electrical power to the water heater.

6. 

Turn the switch to the “ON” position.  If the burner does not light, the system will 

 

Hydrogen gas may result if you have not used the water heater for two 
weeks or more.  

HYDROGEN  GAS  IS  EXTREMELY  FLAMMA-

BLE.  

To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, open the hot 

water faucet for several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any 
electrical appliance connected to the hot water system.  If hydrogen is 
present, you may hear what sounds like air escaping through the pipe as 

the water begins to flow.  Hydrogen gas may be present even after water 

has been drained from the water heater tank.  Open the faucet at the sink 

and allow the system to vent for five to ten minutes.  Do not smoke or 

have any open flame near the open faucet while venting.  On DSI water 

heater models, make sure the switch is OFF.

 

Do not alter the operation or change the design/construction of your wa-
ter heater.  For your safety, only factory authorized parts should be used 
on your water heater. Accessories marketed for recreation vehicles, such 
as an “add-on” electric heating elements, are not recommended by the 
manufacturer.   Such items are not approved to be installed and could 
create an unsafe condition and will void all warranties

 

If you smell propane gas

 then 

STOP!

 and follow the procedures listed 

in the 

Propane  System

 

section before attempting to operate the water 

heater.
