Omg! You’ve saved my first road trip in my new travel trailer. 3rd day of 30 day trip and my water heater stopped working. I called the dealership where I bought my trailer back in April and like other calls with other operational questions they were of no help to me. Once they got there money I became history. Watching your video gave me information and clarity of what might be wrong and confidence to continue on and look for a mobile rv repair or rv repair shop. Thank you so much for the video. I look forward to more and gaining rv maintenance and repair knowledge.
Wowwwww what a great explanation! I feel like i absorbed like a month school worth of informarion in only half an hour video. This is great. Thank you very much! So useful!!
Thank you for doing this. When my wife screamed while in the shower I knew something was up. You have taught us to test and not just through parts at it. It turns out after testing my issue was the switch also. I happened to have a switch and now all is working.
My boss asked me to look at his water heater on his Grand Design camper. I have never worked on a water heater in a camper , and took one look and started looking on line and Google sent me to you..... You just made me look good by saving my boss a trip to the RV shop. Thanks so much! I gave subscribed to you and saved you in my book marks.
I stumbled onto your video. One of the best self help videos I have ever watched. I subscribed to your channel and will now go back and watch your historical videos. Thank you!
Thanks to my rv works , I trouble shot my water heater issue and came to find out I was only getting 26 volts to my switch , problem being a short in the junction box (from the poorly manufacture)( wire nuts were not safely secure made contact and fried the wires upon contact with each other) that caused my breaker to trip..... I did replace the electrode and thermostat, prior to me finding this channel , went and bought me a ohmmeter and was troubleshooting the right way , thanks my rv works!!!!
Ok bud I’m not sure how to thank you for these videos, you are a mechanical genius and for those of us that are lacking in this field rely on you. Last year you taught me how to repack my wheel bearings on my rv and you didn’t even know it, thank you.
I know everybody else has already said this, but this was excellent video. All of your videos are very good. They are very detailed and they explain everything in plain English. Thank you so much.
I cant thank you enough I changed my stuck switch like you said and now the electrical portion of water heater is working again... THANK YOU SO MUCH... So much value in your video thank you for explaining in so much detail
Your video saved my water heater almost exactly a year ago and it’s saved me again. Last year it was the AC thermostat. This year it’s the switch. Thank you. It’s the video that keeps on giving! 😍
How do I access the junction box behind all the stuff on the outside do I have to pull the water heater completely out to get that or just the metal facing on the outside
I'm 66 and I enjoy your videos. I love learning. I watch as many as I can even if I don't have a problem or the same equipment. Wanted to let you know that you are appreciated .
Thanks! You helped me fix my problem. It was the thermostat. But I replaced the anode and the element, just because it was time. BTW. It found it easier and more thorough to flush from the element hole and let it flow our ot the anode hole OK. Next is test the LP side and see how that’s works. Took it all apart anyway. Thanks again. I am in E NC or I would call you for a few projects. And thanks too to Dacoda!
This is by far one of the best and helpful videos I have watched. I was able to use your teaching in this video to diagnose that I also had a faulty switch. I assumed right away that it was going to be an element but your tests all came back positive. That left the switch and sure enough while it looked fine there was no continuity. You just saved me hundreds of dollars for an $9.00 Canadian part at good old Canadian Tire. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for making this video! Living in a rural area makes it a bit difficult to find someone willing to come out here and this has been so helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I have watched 11 different videos before I found yours. You helped so much and spoke well and presented the information in a way I wasn’t bored to death and didn’t drag out your words. I instantly subscribed and plan to watch a few others. From a field electrican thank you sir!! I
Wow! So thorough. You are a great teacher. My stepson is renting our fifth wheeler from us, and the hot water heater quit. Now I have the confidence to go out there and see what’s going on.
The part where you disconnect the solenoid wires at 18:00 is a major point of instruction. If watching, please make sure your wires are connected properly. Mine were not and as soon as I matched my wires to your video my LP SPARKED! THANK YOU! God bless.
Thank You for providing this gas/electric circuit troubleshooting course. The way u explain and show the process is supurb. Your Surname s/b Professor ! Keep up the great work ! The last camper propane w/htr I owned was manual pilot light with push/turn valve. A friend has a newer Suburban w/h needing fix. I used up my ammo with nothing fixed. You have me locked and loaded to attack the problems again. Thanks Professor !
This video is awesome! My suburban sw12de stopped firing up on the gas side . Thanks to this video, I was able to diagnose that both solenoids had failed. I ordered the part on amazon replaced it and I’m back in business! Thank you Darren!
I have a 1 year old RV Travel Trailer and I'm taking notes with your video. You are a great teacher, I'm suscribing and going to watch all of your videos. It's like going to RV Class 101 and I feel so much more confident about my own RV and understanding how to take care of things myself. Thank you so much!!!! Keep up the great work.
This was a very helpful video. We had a power outage for 20+ hours and when the water and power came back on we had no hot water. We replaced a couple parts we knew how to, then watched the part on the on/off switch, and that was where we had no power coming in. Went to local dealer to pick up part and it works. Thanks for posting the viedo.
And now, I understand all the elements of my water heater and I can further troubleshoot mine. After flushing it to replace the anode rod, I am no longer getting hot water. You gave me the tools to fix this myself. I appreciate this so much!
Thanks for the video! I used this to go through and diagnose my Suburban water heater. Found it worked except some burnt wires in the junction box. Replaced some connections and back in business.
Very helpful video, particularly where you get into the technical details, voltages, amps, ohms. You explained briefly but effectively. Thanks for sharing such good info.
Thanks for the super informative video, I chased all these wires down, wasn’t getting power at the water heater at all, found the relay, still no power. Turns out the wire was never pushed into breaker! The more you know, thanks for getting me to that point!
Great video. Fantastic step by step analysis. Just started trouble shooting the same heater, you have given a tremendous amount of information. Thank You!
Well done. My Dometic gas/electric WH works on neither source. This is my first RV ever and it has been a full-on head scratcher to get all of the systems up on this 2005 5th wheel. The WH is the last one to whip and I now feel well-informed enough to check it out (minus head scratching). thx
This is the most comprehensive video that I have ever seen, the proper way to diagnose each component on these dual energy water heaters. Great video, subscribed and will be using your links to fix and service my H2O heater, Thank you.
thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I could not find a manual or anything online. your time is very much appreciated. I just wanted to know how it was wired just in case I had an issue.
Very helpful, My RV Works, Inc.. Could not have fixed my Suburban SW10DE without your guidance. As a heads up to both you and anyone you sees this post: A 10~ ohm resistance does not necessarily mean that the element is good. I had that here but it took replacing the element to fix AC side of heater. Not only that, the replaced element was nasty, nasty, nasty, with a heavy caking of calcium carbonate.
WOW!!!! ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!! What a great video, the entire troubleshooting, repair and maintenance for these water heater! Plus added basic electrical explanations!!! Thank you!
This was the best and most informative video! It really helped me to understand the works and operation of the water heater and now I can repair mine most easily! Thank you!!!
That was a great video. I really like how you take the time to explain the theory of operation and explain and show how you are troubleshooting in great detail. Your videos have helped me diagnose and fix my furnace, ac, and now I, about to troubleshoot my water heater using this video. Thanks again for another great video.
Excellent technical description of functionality of the unit. I'm in the electronics industry and I found it very informative as I have had my Fiat Ducato MH only a short while. Cheers
Great video this was very helpful to diagnose that my AC on and off switch is broken. I really like how you opened everything up so I know what to expect.
Sir, you are a youtube how-to video rock star. Top-notch allowing someone with a wee bit of know-how to understand the pieces, parts, how's, and why's allowing them to tackle any RV service issue. Something about you and your know-how reminds me of Gene Hackman in Enemy of the State. Thank you for letting me get to know and tackle my used RV issues.
Dang super helpful thanks for the detail and explanations 👍🏼 after watching this video I successfully diagnosed my water heater thanks to you I now have hot water on the 12v side 🙌🏻👍🏼👍🏼 thank you much
Very well done! I was a maintenance instructor for many years and could not have done a better job. As thorough as this video was I would like to have seen you discuss the circuit board. Mine got fried in a thunderstorm 2 days ago and I had nothing, AC or DC, so I knew to look there first. Sure enough the board was cooked, Q3 on the board to be exact. Keep up the good work!
Great video on the step by step process! Excellent camera work! Easy to understand. Electric switch going into our spare parts bin! Would have liked to see you replace the solenoids. Thanks again!
As with All your videos: VERY IMPORTANT Info presented and explained perfectly * Who needs Any other repair videos but Yours? Answer: No One! TY SO MUCH!!!
THANK YOU for taking the time to do this. You are awesome. I feel confident to troubleshoot my daughter's WH now. It is not working on AC power. It's a 2021 model and I was going to just start replacing parts starting with the element etc. But now I can test them first. Also, I noticed you made a new screw hole for the thermostat. :) Well Done!
Great video for sure. Really awesome. Just got a new for me, 2006 travel trailer where the water heater LP works, and DC, but have not verified not working on A/C, so this is a great start. Thank you.
Thanks, this video really aided my understanding. My SW6DE has a 120v side problem. There is a continuity between neutral and ground on the circuit that trips the shore tie if it is plugged into a GFCI. The housing on the electric element is cracked, and the reset button rubber guard is deteriorated and the reset post missing on the DC side (although the unit works fine on LP).
Thought my problem would be solved after watching your video. Switch is good, thermostats are good,replaced complete gas valve with solenoids, cleaned thermal coupling with emery cloth but flame will not stay lit! Any suggestions?
Thanks for the informative video. Dont know if you're in Utah? Having one of the several problems you have pointed out. So many things it could be, and you pointed out most of them, if not all...I will check this problem out & see if I can get it working. Thanks again for taking the time to educate us!
Awesome video! Your expertise is clear to see. I'm good at fixing things overall. But for some reason I've never learned electrical troubleshooting, especially how to use a testing meter. Now I really know that I know nothing about it! Normally I would have a level of skepticism if I had an issue and needed to call a mobile service technician. It seems you never know who/what you're getting. But I can say that seeing you work, anyone in your service area will be getting a thoroughly qualified expert level of service. Very impressive..........
awesome! thank you so much! i was wondering if you can show how to get ride of the rust that build on the tank. also, i was wondering if it's possible to pain them so it looks a little better and maybe protects it better. thank you again!
Hi Mike, not sure how to get rid of rust once it has started. The Anode rod is supposed to manage that. Anything put in the water heater can end up in the water lines of the RV (including rust) so I would be careful what was used in there. Think kitchen cooking water and shower water...
We have a Suburban water heater on our 2013 Montana. Really enjoy learning from your well trusted videos! THANK YOU & DAKOTA for the time you spend sharing such a wonderful information! Been experiencing issues with hot water. Doesn't work on 120v; does great on LP. Where can I share pics of melted wires to thermostat? The excessive heat affected the wire to the ECO wire too. Am replacing the switch, thermostat & wires. Thanks again Darren! Will try to contact you when we visit our son again stationed at NAS Whidbey Island.
This is great, but I am surprised you don't mention safety, like turning off the breaker or even mentioning that there are high voltages present where you are casually touching wires.
Love your troubleshooting videos...thank you so much! About those scotch lock connectors...those are a horrible connector by design, as they tend to actually cut the conductor when crimped, and even worse when in an outdoor, exposed environment.
This unit doesn't take up a lot of room under my kitchen sink. I love that I have instant hot water when ever I want! Has enough capacity for my dishwasher also.

Hands down, best of the best. Never seen another person come close to being this thorough.
And he moves through the process instead of putting us to sleep. I agree, great work.
This man is my hero!
Agreed
Thanks for making this niche info available to the public at free of charge.

Ps. You are the best self help guy because of the way explain and breakdown...
You saved me at least 250$ with this video. Thanks man. Life saver.

You put so much effort into your videos. You make it easy for people to understand every detail of how things operate and I want to say THANK YOU!
I agree with the comments below stating this is the best video I've come across on water heaters. Your an excellent trainer, my guy! Kudos!
Never apologize for long videos.........the longer they are, the more we learn. Excellent video Darren and Dakota !!! Thank you....
Excellent instructional video. I have a much better understanding of how my water heater works.
Hands down the best and most detailed step by step break downs I’ve seen to actually help a person out in finding hot water tank issues.
I'm 66 and I enjoy your videos. I love learning. I watch as many as I can even if I don't have a problem or the same equipment. Wanted to let you know that you are appreciated .
Thanks, Burt!
Superbly done! You sir, are a great teacher! Thanks for taking the time to do this video and for sharing it with us!

Great video and detail and camera work. I'll watch a few more times only because its a lot of information to adsorb for a RV newbie like me.
I'm glad your video turned into a long one thank you!
I have a 1 year old RV Travel Trailer and I'm taking notes with your video. You are a great teacher, I'm suscribing and going to watch all of your videos.

Excellent tutorial! I learned so much from it and best of all repairing a problem oneself is so much cheaper than a shop call or mobile tech!
Thank you for this video. My electric switch was stuck and bad and my LP solenoid was bad. Now cant wait for the parts to come in!! Great Job!!
Very helpful video, particularly where you get into the technical details, voltages, amps, ohms. You explained briefly but effectively. Thanks for sharing such good info.
Thanks for the super informative video, I chased all these wires down, wasn’t getting power at the water heater at all, found the relay, still no power. Turns out the wire was never pushed into breaker! The more you know, thanks for getting me to that point!
I'm not getting power to my water heater either, suspecting the problem is the relay. Where did you find it?
Great video. Fantastic step by step analysis. Just started trouble shooting the same heater, you have given a tremendous amount of information. Thank You!
Great troubleshooting techniques! I have an issue with the A/C side. LP works fine. Checking that element and the switch first. Thanks!
Well done. My Dometic gas/electric WH works on neither source. This is my first RV ever and it has been a full-on head scratcher to get all of the systems up on this 2005 5th wheel. The WH is the last one to whip and I now feel well-informed enough to check it out (minus head scratching). thx

Great video, subscribed and will be using your links to fix and service my H2O heater, Thank you.
That was one excellent video. It is the gold standard of the way videos should be presented. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
What a great video. I learned so much about my heater. I hope my unit doesn't fail me or my wife again.
thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I could not find a manual or anything online. your time is very much appreciated. I just wanted to know how it was wired just in case I had an issue.
excellent video, i knew all this stuff a 1 time, and then forgot it from lack of use... great refresher, much thx
Very helpful, My RV Works, Inc.. Could not have fixed my Suburban SW10DE without your guidance.
As a heads up to both you and anyone you sees this post: A 10~ ohm resistance does not necessarily mean that the element is good. I had that here but it took replacing the element to fix AC side of heater. Not only that, the replaced element was nasty, nasty, nasty, with a heavy caking of calcium carbonate.
Thank you again...seems like the on-off switch is bad. Love your easy to follow videos.
He explained it so a 7 year old could understand being so thorough
Thank you thank you... this helped me figure out what was wrong with mine.
WOW!!!! ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!! What a great video, the entire troubleshooting, repair and maintenance for these water heater! Plus added basic electrical explanations!!! Thank you!
This was the best and most informative video! It really helped me to understand the works and operation of the water heater and now I can repair mine most easily! Thank you!!!
Thanks!! I believe this was my EXACT issue! I've ordered the switch, and it'll be here Wednesday.
Thank you!! The clearest and simplest best self-help video for heater troubleshooting ever!!
That was a great video. I really like how you take the time to explain the theory of operation and explain and show how you are troubleshooting in great detail. Your videos have helped me diagnose and fix my furnace, ac, and now I, about to troubleshoot my water heater using this video. Thanks again for another great video.
Such a great video! One of the most thorough I’ve seen.
Excellent technical description of functionality of the unit. I'm in the electronics industry and I found it very informative as I have had my Fiat Ducato MH only a short while. Cheers
Great video this was very helpful to diagnose that my AC on and off switch is broken. I really like how you opened everything up so I know what to expect.
Sir, you are a youtube how-to video rock star. Top-notch allowing someone with a wee bit of know-how to understand the pieces, parts, how's, and why's allowing them to tackle any RV service issue. Something about you and your know-how reminds me of Gene Hackman in Enemy of the State. Thank you for letting me get to know and tackle my used RV issues.
Great video!!! Just bought an R-Pod and noticed the water heater is not working. This video give me the info I need to troubleshoot it.
Dang super helpful thanks for the detail and explanations 👍🏼 after watching this video I successfully diagnosed my water heater thanks to you I now have hot water on the 12v side 🙌🏻👍🏼👍🏼 thank you much
Very well done! I was a maintenance instructor for many years and could not have done a better job. As thorough as this video was I would like to have seen you discuss the circuit board. Mine got fried in a thunderstorm 2 days ago and I had nothing, AC or DC, so I knew to look there first. Sure enough the board was cooked, Q3 on the board to be exact. Keep up the good work!
Great video on the step by step process! Excellent camera work!
Easy to understand. Electric switch going into our spare parts bin! Would have liked to see you replace the solenoids.
Thanks again!
Simpler to get rid off that switch all together and add switch inside vehicle.
Incredible! You are an amazing teacher! We, and your Son are very lucky!
This is the PERFECT video that I needed! Was able to diagnose the problem for my water heater. Great step by step video!
Great to hear!
Absolutely first class explanation. Please keep up your great work
As with All your videos: VERY IMPORTANT Info presented and explained perfectly * Who needs Any other repair videos but Yours? Answer: No One! TY SO MUCH!!!
very helpful. I am a newbie to RV life and needed to know about my water heater. thanks
THANK YOU for taking the time to do this. You are awesome. I feel confident to troubleshoot my daughter's WH now. It is not working on AC power. It's a 2021 model and I was going to just start replacing parts starting with the element etc. But now I can test them first. Also, I noticed you made a new screw hole for the thermostat. :) Well Done!
Ataboy: Great Video. My Suburban Heater is the next project.
Very helpful as always. I am having an issue and now I will reference this video so I might be able to fix it myself, Thanks, and have a blessed day.
Great video for sure. Really awesome. Just got a new for me, 2006 travel trailer where the water heater LP works, and DC, but have not verified not working on A/C, so this is a great start. Thank you.
Exactly the same as what was wrong with mine! Thanks for the step-by-step troubleshooting guide!
Excellent video....parts list is much appreciated since this is a very common water heater configuration throughout the RV industry
Thanks, this video really aided my understanding. My SW6DE has a 120v side problem. There is a continuity between neutral and ground on the circuit that trips the shore tie if it is plugged into a GFCI. The housing on the electric element is cracked, and the reset button rubber guard is deteriorated and the reset post missing on the DC side (although the unit works fine on LP).
I've taken about 40 pages of notes regarding various repairs on campers....THANKS!!
Thankyou so much! I went step by step and got my water heater working on electric again!
Thank you very much you explain this very good thank you
Thought my problem would be solved after watching your video. Switch is good, thermostats are good,replaced complete gas valve with solenoids, cleaned thermal coupling with emery cloth but flame will not stay lit! Any suggestions?
Thanks for the informative video. Dont know if you're in Utah? Having one of the several problems you have pointed out. So many things it could be, and you pointed out most of them, if not all...I will check this problem out & see if I can get it working. Thanks again for taking the time to educate us!
do you have a video on checking LP pressure? I have tried everything and no fire. All started after I filled the propane tanks. So weird...
I guess I will get to troubleshooting and see how it goes :) Great video!!!
Can I turn on electric and gas at the same time to help with recovery ?
I've used both in cold weather to heat faster and keep up with the cold.
Awesome video! Your expertise is clear to see. I'm good at fixing things overall. But for some reason I've never learned electrical troubleshooting, especially how to use a testing meter. Now I really know that I know nothing about it!

Most Excellent! Decoda is a great cameraman
Great lesson on how the water heater works!
We have a Suburban water heater on our 2013 Montana. Really enjoy learning from your well trusted videos! THANK YOU & DAKOTA for the time you spend sharing such a wonderful information! Been experiencing issues with hot water. Doesn't work on 120v; does great on LP. Where can I share pics of melted wires to thermostat? The excessive heat affected the wire to the ECO wire too. Am replacing the switch, thermostat & wires. Thanks again Darren! Will try to contact you when we visit our son again stationed at NAS Whidbey Island.
This is great, but I am surprised you don't mention safety, like turning off the breaker or even mentioning that there are high voltages present where you are casually touching wires.
Love your troubleshooting videos...thank you so much!
About those scotch lock connectors...those are a horrible connector by design, as they tend to actually cut the conductor when crimped, and even worse when in an outdoor, exposed environment.
What a great video. I am currently having issues with my hw heater so this is going to go a long way in helping me diagnose the issue.
Thanks for the details shown through this video. It was very helpful.
This unit doesn't take up a lot of room under my kitchen sink. I love that I have instant hot water when ever I want! Has enough capacity for my dishwasher also.
