Update on the Water Heater Problem
So I installed the new regulator, and that was THE fix. I did encounter one little situation that I got resolved. When I reconnected the hot and cold water lines to the back of the new water heater, I had to disconnect a heating duct tube ( like a dryer vent) which ran across the back of the water heater. In reconnecting this tube after hooking up the new heater, the bottom valve on that bypass rig we discussed on this forum earlier, got turn 90 degrees. As a result no hot water was being delivered from the tank to the trailer, making me believe at first that the boiler flame had shut off prematurely and was not heating the water properly. When I found that the valve was not in its original ( as found) position and I turned this valve back to the proper position...presto...I had hot water!
One other thing. For a long time after I first hooked the gas up, the flame from the burner was loud and more orange than blue...sounded like maybe it was mixed with too much air or something... This finally went away and the flame burned a constant, even, blue.
Thanks again for the help guys and gals!! Being able to take a shower after a hard day's work adds so much more to the enjoyment of our visits to our camper !!!
