Water heater

The propane flow to the water heater is weak and comes in contact with a device that blows and cuts off the gas flow to water heater all together. The stove and furnace work fine. The water heater can still be used with electricity. Any suggestions?

start your stove first and let it run for a few min. then fire up your hot water heater. that way you make sure you get any air out of the lines and get the propane back closer to the heater.

If ggilberts suggestion doesn't work, use a can of compressed air on the WH. That worked for me a few times after the camper had sat unused for awhile. No cobwebs or other debris was visible but something got cleared out. Just a suggestion.

Which water heater do you have?

One of the common issues with RV water heaters is spiders. For some crazy reason they are attracted to propane, and make their nests in the burner area. You may need to pull the burner tube and blow it out with compressed air. I have done this more than once to both my TT and to others in CGs that were having issues.
