How the RV water heater works

How the RV Water Heater Works: Inside the Suburban Water Heater! We're diving deep into the inner workings of a Suburban water heater for your RV. Whether you're curious about how to maintain your heater or want to understand the different components, this video covers it all.
We start by exploring the electric heating element, discussing its function and the importance of handling it with care due to the 120 volts of electricity running through it. We also take a close look at the thermostat discs, including the high-temperature limit switch and the emergency cutoff switch, explaining how they regulate your water's temperature and ensure safety.
Next, we shift our focus to the burner assembly, which uses propane to heat your water. We explain how the solenoid gas valve works, the role of the igniter, and why it's crucial not to drive with your propane on.
Finally, we provide a tech tip on restoring the air gap in your P&T valve if you notice it's leaking, potentially saving you from a costly replacement.

Another great video Todd. How about doing this on the tankless water heaters. My new RV has a tankless water heater and I'm not as impressed with It than I thought. How about a "deep" dive on those water heaters. Thanks.
