Carol do rite gud and I miss her too.

Silvertwinkie absented himself after he was acting as a mod on the WBCCI website and getting a lot of flack about it.

Safari 57: last post June 26, 2011.

2air disappeared March 5 and has removed all information about himself.

I PM'd 2Air a couple of weeks back following up on a repair question from a few months back. If you were wondering ... He's alive and well but says there's nothing new to post.

Every once in a while a gas appliance does not work. Some idiot (me) removed the propane tanks and when he replaced them, forgot to turn the propane back on. The good thing about being an idiot is that the solution is easy—turn the gas back on. There are times to hope you are an idiot.

alas, the propane is on....double, tripple checked that first....light at switch will not respond......no juice??? fuse????

Light should come on regardless of whether the flame lights or not—there's a different pattern for working and not working.

After the idiot's delight fix doesn't work, the fuse is the next simple thing.

Do you have a wiring diagram with the stuff you got when you bought the trailer? If so, that can help with troubleshooting.

If you don't hear the flame and the light doesn't come on, it could be a fuse or a loose wire on that part of the circuit that operates the light and the igniter. If you don't have spare fuses, borrow one you know is good for the water heater fuse. I believe the 12 v. circuits are identified on the inside of the converter cover under the bed.

Then it is loose wires. And cleaning the igniter—though I'd think the light would work regardless of the condition of the igniter.

I think there's a circuit board to control the electrical part. That can be shorted out by bugs, dirt, dust, or cracked, or otherwise blown.

Since our trailer is the same age and trim line as yours, and I have seen people reporting problems with their water heaters at about 3 or 4 years, I guess I should be looking ours over and clean parts and check them.

so apparently some something partially clogged gas tube and causes a flame flare up which scorched the thermal cuttoff wire and .......

in that event there is no juice to fire the electronic ignition and therefore the red light cannot come on and the heater can not make hot water

and a 14$ part and an expensive service call and ..........
