Angry Eagle 319MLOK

I have a 2019 319MLOK. Today I had service done on my propane heater. The tech found that when the coach was built the placement of the exhaust funnel was too high. When we get torrential rains in Florida the tube placement from the outside wall was slanted down thereby allowing water to flow into the propane heater. When the tech removed the heater he dumped a glass size amount of water out of the heater. This caused the circuit board inside the heater to malfunction allowing the heater to turn on but did not have the proper voltage to activate the pilot light. I bring this to mind for all others experiencing the unit to turn on then shut off. The way to check this is to remove the exhaust plate on the outside making sure that the tube is straight across and not pointing down. They installed the wooden support brace to accept the heater too low and thereby having the outside exhaust pipe to allow water to enter the unit.

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up! Sounds like the usual suspects are still designing and assembling these units huh? Lol. Every where you look you're shaking your head it seems.
