Issue with propane and hot water heater

September 12, 2019, 06:09:37 pm

I've been in my 89 Lazy Daze for about 2 months now. Everything has been working fine. I recently had to go refill the propane tank. Rather than driving to the propane place, I just removed it from the RV and took it to the propane company to have it refilled. So, basically, there was about 25 minutes where the propane was not hooked up.

I also had accidentally left the water heater button in the on position when I unplugged the propane, and the refrigerator was also on too. I was, however, connected to shore power at the time I unplugged the propane.

Now, three days later, I'm having trouble getting the hot water heater to work (and the fridge is not registering the propane at all, though I am connected to shore). I have been able to get a couple uses of the hot water heater, but not consistent. When I turn on the hot water heater button, it doesn't light most of the time now.

Before I replaced the propane, I wasn't having a problem at all. I have run the stove, furnance ,etc., that all works fine.

It's just ever since I unplugged the propane, refilled, and reconnected, the hot water heater works intermittently and the fridge won't connect to it either.

Thoughts?

Thanks Steve. So, I just discovered something new. I checked my battery light, and it's showing low. It wasn't showing low before. I wonder if this could have anything to do with it? I"m plugged into shore power though.
