Water heater not lighting on gas
I know this likely isn’t the proper forum but others aren’t seen regularly. I’m out camping in our 2017 Reflection 303 and the hot water heater won’t light on gas. I can smell the gas when it tries (standing at the water heater). I don’t hear the usual ticking noise like when the regular heater fires up. I have all the screens covered with the mesh to keep Baugh out and under the cover is nice and clean. Any ideas?

Do you have a gas button in your inside panel. It must be turned on to work. Just a thought.

Yes. The gas button is beside the electric button on the slide control panel. I stood out at the water heater while the wife flipped the gas switch on. I could smell the gas but nothing happened.

Water heater not lighting on gas
Not sure if you found the answer but we had the same issue. Found out that the copper line that’s hooked to the larger gas pipe right at the heater has a dip in the tube. Some kind of oil has collected in that copper line. I unhooked it carefully bent the line down so as to not kink the tubing, and the oil drained from the line. Was just enough to block the lp gas from flowing.
