Mike - Congrats to Linda, assuming your rig was upright, she's experienced an impossible situation! I'm assuming your coach has a double sink. Is it possible that there was standing water in the sink that was draining, and she noticed water rising in the empty sink? This could happen if there was...

A typical water heater after-market electric heating element only draws 450 - 675 watts (4 - 6 amps), and factory-installed gas/electric heater 1440 watts, so it shouldn't be necessary to shut off everything else unless several other high amp devices are in use (air conditioner, convection oven, ...

Steve - I apologize for the late response, but your posting slipped by me. At one time we did have a classified board where members could advertise RV related items, but with all the changes this one apparently bit the dust. Good luck. - Dave

Candy - Look at the power requirements for your particular model, and it's probably in the 200 - 300 watt range. This is just a fraction of what your RV's sockets are capable of handling (1800 watts). Your hair dryer probably draws at least 1000 watts. Good luck. - Dave

Dutch - Like you, we are extra cautious protecting our family and assets. I strongly suggest you have a frank discussion with your agent, because you may be at risk. I pay my CPA and attorney to keep me out of jail, and my insurance agent to protect "everything" else. If you think what you read i...

Rich - Most RVers don't leave their houses "vacant/bare/empty" when they leave. Empty houses, unlike those who give the appearance of being lived in, are more likely to be a target for vandalism, thus the insurance companies' concern. Allstate does, however, offer separate policies for vacant/emp...

Chromepony - When I first read your question, my initial reaction was "no way", but I ran it by my Allstate representative and here's his response....
"Most policies (yours included) have a clause that limits vandalism coverage if the house is vacant for more than 30 consecutive days prior to th...

Glenn - Does your model have the capability of displaying error/diagnostic codes? If so, what error code, if any, is being generated? - Dave

Ron - I don't know if the sail switch controls both the igniter and the gas valve. I'm guessing, however, that there may be a safety reason for not controlling the igniter. For instance, if the igniter portion of the sail switch circuitry failed, maybe there could be a scenario where the gas va...

Ron - I'd start with the sail switch, and you can read about its function HERE. Before you start taking anything apart, start the generater or connect to shore power and see if it still won't ignite. With the generater running, or a shore power connection, the battery voltage will be increased wh...
