Our water heater gets turned on/off inadvertantly while camping. The switch is in the bathroom, and, looks just like the light switch. I do flush out the hot water tank with a special hose nossle that camping world sells for that purpose. I also put an anode bar on the drain valve to prevent mineral build-up.

I'm watching what he does, and doing just the opposite!


Just do this once ...and you will know the answer.

"I usually remember to turn ours on just as the cold water is spraying on my wife in the shower and I hear this awful squeal coming from the bathroom area. I then rush over and hit the switch - so that I can honestly reply that the hot water heater is on when asked in a very seductive tone "is the darn hot water on????". With everything else in need of repairs it's not to hard for me just to blame it on the trailer.... "

I think your wife needs to learn how to check the heater herself before she jumps in the shower!

Funny, Yuki and klattu - that looks like my post but I am sure it's the same for all of us.

Hot off the press

It is yours...
I could not improve, so put in "quotes"

Only bold text was mine.

I can just imagine the cold sholder I would get telling her to check before showering.
