Re: Surburban tankless water heater

After some research understood the valve was there for winterizing water heater. Would it be needed on a tankless unit? Thanks

Re: Surburban tankless water heater

Looking at Surburban IW60, I have Surburban 6 gal LP only now. It has been in unit since '95 and still works fine but not enough hot water to keep wife happy during shower time.

Re: INTERIOR SMELLS

The only leak I can find is small one from pinion seal but doesn't smell like gear oil inside. Crank case breather exits at rear and have never seen any blow-by. Engine oil level is between marks if it's accurate. Will seal up engine access under bed and see if that helps. Thanks for the input and w...

INTERIOR SMELLS

I am having an issue with smells coming into RV. It has an oily smell. Doesn't seem as bad while going slow or stopped. The only thing I can think of is air pressure coming in around engine cover over bed. Also some smell in basement so closed heater vent to basement. Any other thoughts would be app...

Re: Rear docking lights

More of a flood light. If I had to do it again I would attach brackets from the upper side of the recess. It would make it slightly cleaner install. Thanks

Re: Rear docking lights

Installed Alpena lights yesterday and really like them. Nice beam pattern and like the industrial look. Thanks

Re: Rear docking lights

Bad spelling on my part. Meant to say if not is. I really like the Alpenas on rear, can light a football field. I will install them on the front for my fog lights and see how the beam pattern is. I will post results in couple of days. Thanks
