Our camper has been working out great! We are all digging the features we have. One of our favorite glamping luxuries is hot water! With that said, sometimes I have issues with getting the water heater to stay on. Its igniting but the flame is not staying on. I think its an issue with the propane pressure. Any input would be appreciated. Here is what I wrote to FWC:
Hi Mike,
The camper has been working out great! We have being going out 1-2 times a weekend every month for the past 4 months.
One issue I do have is some times the water heater doesn't ignite. It will take 3 to 4 times and then I usually have to run the stove for 30 second for the water heater to ignite and to stay on. This just a guess but Is the propane pressure too high and its actually blowing the flame ? Just this weekend, I notice it on the stove as well. When I light the stove, the flame blows out within the first few seconds.
I shut off the propane when in transit. This usually happens when I"m turning on the water heater the first time when I get to camp.
On the propane tank, should the valve be completely open? Is there an adjustment on the propane regulator?
Thanks,
Jim
