RV News and Stories RV Water Heater Preventive Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance is maintenance you perform on your RV before a problem exists. These checks are designed to prevent or identify potential problems that could lead to mechanical breakdown, malfunction or failure of a component or system on your RV. Preventive Maintenance consists of cleaning, inspecting, lubricating, adjusting and servicing your RV

Water Heater: Always make sure the water heater tank is full of water before lighting. Open a hot water faucet and when you get a steady flow of water the tank is full.

Water Heater: Bypass the water heater for winterizing. Check to make sure the water heater is NOT bypassed before using.

























Water Heater:Drain the water heater tank after every trip. The drain plug is located in the bottom left corner of the outside water heater compartment. CAUTION: Do not drain the water heater when it is hot and/or under pressure!




















Water Heater: Inspect the exterior water heater vent and burner area for obstructions like nests or mud daubers. Clean as required.
