Warning

Water Heater Storage

If the motor home is to be stored during the winter months, the water
heater should be drained (Figure 4-13) to prevent damage caused by
freezing water contained in the water heater. To drain the water
heater, first turn "off" all electrical power, turn "off" the LP gas going
to the water heater, then turn "off" the water pump. Open both the
hot- and the cold-water faucets to drain the water lines and open the
drain on the water heater to drain the entire system.
When re-activating the water heater after the motor home is taken out
of storage, make sure that the entire water system, including the water
heater, has been filled with water and the lines have been purged of
any entrapped air before relighting the water heater. Failure to do so
may allow the water-heating element to be turned "on" before such is
immersed in water; thereby, causing the premature failure of the
heating element and voiding the warranty.
