2012 Rockwood 8288ws just purchased. When I turn the switch on for the water heater it cycles trying to ignite gas. I want to run electric only. What am I doing wrong?

1st Question - Can you verify that you actually have a Gas/Electic Waterheater? Most units are gas only. You may have to look at the unit and look for power cables. 2nd. Is power connected prior to turning on the water heater?

Why does my dash air blow hot air

There is a dampener that opens and closes inside the duct system under the dash. If it gets stuck on the wrong position it will blow hot. They are usually vacuum controlled. Try to slide the thermostat to hot then back to cold and see if it will actuate. If not, you will need to locate the dampener and check the actuator for failure.

Slide outs won't come in

#1 is make sure the RV is FOUR WAY LEVEL before attempting. Check for obstructions at the glide points and also INSIDE the RV. A toy on the floor can stop the slide-in. Those apply whether slider is manual or electric. IF it's electric, first thing to check is the fuse for the slider circuit.

Have a Norcold model 482 RV fridge for my Georgie boy impulse and has stopped working on electric and propane. metal sleeve above pilot light from outside access panel gets to hot to touch.

I'd check the control board. You MUST have good 12v going to the board in order for it to function correctly. Sounds like you have decent propane if the burner assembly gets hot. The key to the whole thing for either propane or 120v usage is good 12v.

Locating the water heater bypass on forest river 398

Locating the water heater bypass on a Forest River RV, specifically the Forest River Georgetown 398 model, can vary based on the specific layout and design of the RV. However, in most RVs, including Forest River models, the water heater bypass valves are typically located near the water heater unit itself. Here are some general steps to help you locate the water heater bypass on your Forest River Georgetown 398: 1. **Identify the Water Heater Unit:** - The water heater in your RV is usually located inside a cabinet or compartment, either inside the RV or accessible from the exterior. - It is commonly found in the kitchen area, bathroom, or an exterior compartment. 2. **Access the Water Heater Compartment:** - Locate the compartment where the water heater is installed. This could be inside the RV or in an exterior storage compartment. - Open the compartment door to access the water heater. 3. **Look for the Bypass Valves:** - Once you have located the water heater, look for the bypass valves near the water heater unit. - The bypass valves are used to redirect water flow during winterization or maintenance to bypass the water heater. 4. **Check Behind the Water Heater:** - In some cases, the bypass valves may be located behind or on the backside of the water heater unit. - You may need to remove a panel or access door to reach the bypass valves. 5. **Identify the Bypass Valve Configuration:** - The water heater bypass system typically consists of three valves: a cold water valve, a hot water valve, and a bypass valve. - The bypass valve should be set to bypass the water heater when winterizing the RV or performing maintenance. 6. **Consult the RV Manual:** - if you have one, refer to the owner's manual or documentation provided with your Forest River Georgetown 398 for specific information on the location and operation of the water heater bypass system. If you are unable to locate the water heater bypass valves or have difficulty accessing them, it may be helpful to consult with a Forest River dealer or RV service center for assistance.

I have a 2013 coachman my truma cp25 is saying operation fault connection error can u help please

The Truma CP25 is a digital control panel used for operating the Truma Combi heating and hot water system in RVs, including Coachmen RVs. If you are encountering an "Operation Fault - Connection Error" message on the Truma CP25 panel, it indicates that there is an issue with the connection between the control panel and the Truma Combi unit. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this error: 1. Check Power Supply: - Ensure that the RV is receiving power and that there are no electrical issues affecting the Truma Combi unit. - Verify that all power connections to the Truma Combi unit and control panel are secure and not loose. 2. Reset the System: - Try resetting the Truma Combi system by turning off the power to the unit for a few minutes and then turning it back on. This may help reset the connection error. 3. Inspect Connections: - Check the wiring connections between the Truma Combi unit and the control panel. Make sure the connections are secure and there are no loose or damaged wires. - Clean the connection points to ensure there is no corrosion or debris affecting the connection. 4. Update Software: - If possible, check if there are any software updates available for the Truma CP25 control panel. Updating the software may resolve any compatibility issues causing the connection error. 5. Contact Truma Support: Good luck
