Finally got the hummingbird MRB out

[olddude1970]

Had a great weened, allbeit shorter than one would want.
We only had 3 issues...
1. The strap that holds the bathroom door closed just pull right past the screw. Would a large washer fix that?
2. The popup electric tower by the sink is not powered. No breakers tripped or fuses blown. Possible cause?
3. For the life of me, I could not get the water heater to heat water. Tried both electric and gas after running the hot faucets until no more air in system. When on gas I heard the burner ignite so gas not the issue. Is there something more that needs to be done to it prior to turning on? Was using shore water not holding tank.

Need to get the issuea taken carw of prior to the 13th of this month. Taking it from IL to AZ and back.


Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the inconveniences:
#1. Probably a big washer will solve issue.
#2. Can you visually trace wires at pop up to ensure connections.
#3. Is your water heater in by pass mode. https://youtu.be/A2H3yNxD3Tg
Hope this helps.

Gives me somewhere to start. Not sure where to check for heater bypass. Nothing around it looks like an access panel. But will keep looking.
Thanks

Got in touch with the dealer I purchased it from. Had me pull a panel under the stove to take it off bypass...this is what I found...
No valves to be seen and none that I could feel reaching in behind...frustrating.

Sorry you are having problems. We have a 2018 16mrb and really like it. The bypass valves are behind the panel in the bathroom, under the closet. remove panel at floor level. We had problems with the pocket door (bathroom) also. It moved around a lot when towing. I put a large hook and loop latch in place of the strap and it works great. Holds the door in place while towing.
Hope this helps

Thanks Gpa. I'll have to look there. Almost impossible to get to them where the dealer told me to look. Do you remember, are there 3 valves or just 2?

I also get the little power pole working. Left cabinet under the sink, had to plug it in. At least the sales guy apologized for not having done that before we picked it up. But had to remove another panel to do it.

[olddude1970]

ok, found everything and we all set to rock n roll !

There are 2 valves, you have to lay on the floor to reach them.

Thanks. Tested and working. Starting for AZ on Thursday. Can't wait [emoji16]
