Thanks for your reply Robert, Both the old and new elements are 1400 watts. I'm not looking to drawing more power through the circuit. The problem must have been with the original OEM relay. The contacts were pitted and mush have welded themselves when I closed the door and went in the house for sup...

I wish the amp ratings were higher but I've ordered a second Thermostat/ECO limit kit to paste on the back side and run the 120v power to the element through. They're rated at 15 amps and the element is a pure resistive load (no surges) so they should work. I'll used insulated connectors on the wire...

I managed to get the relay apart without destroying it and found the contacts had overheated and melted some of the plastic. Here's a close-up of the contact points: https://i.imgur.com/0e7Hem8l.jpg The contact points look like they're pitted and may have welded themselves together. The must have se...

Mel, thanks for your response. The wiring for my WH is like the diagram I included in my post. I wish the 120v power went through a T-stat and ECO limit but my relay connects power straight to the element and relay coil gets its power from the control board. Neither of the switches over the door wer...

Atwood GC6AA-10E in a 2004 Trek acting up On the last morning of our 3 month winter getaway in the same spot as we were eating breakfast I thought I smelled something electrical burning. As I was outside readying to pull out, the wife discovered it coming from the cabinet with the water heater in it...

I've been here long enough I guess should introduce myself. I've owned my Trek since November of 2014. It's 2004 31SBD with the EMB bed in the back lounge. I'm a little disappointed it doesn't have the full width bath in the back instead like the 29RBD models. It's unusual in that it sits on Ford's ...

Here's what I used to convert my ThinLites - Just over $4 a pack - one pack will replace the lights in one 12" fixture and produce more light than the original tubes. The light is equivalent to cool white. I just cut the wires to ballast leaving it in place and spliced in the wires from the lig...

Same here with compartment locks not being a problem but if it bothers you there are remedies: https://www.loveyourrv.com/rv-storage-bay-locks-really-secure/ https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Locks/Global-Link/295-000003.html http://rvtipster.com/index.php/rv-compartment-locks https://www.lci1.com/archive...

I recall seeing an early Trek for sale with an Isuzu diesel engine. Was this an engine available with the workhorse chassis of was it based on an Isuzu truck chassis? Hal The Isuzu Trek was the original Trek. It began production in 1991 and ended after the 1993 model year. It was somewhat under-pow...

The front and back caps aren't overlaid on the same lauan plywood the sides are so you won't see the crazing as much or at all on them.
