Have watched a lot of You Tube Videos on various aspects of my motorhome as I am sorely inexperienced in RVsmenship. I have not found one video that adequately explains the workings of the water heater from A through Z.
Two situations:
Off grid with a full fresh water tank. My understanding is that the fresh water tank does not automatically fill the water heater. You open a tap until air is cleared out of the line and water is put into the water heater from the fresh water tank. How long does it take to fill the water heater? Then shut off the tap. Turn on the switch that starts the DSI and begins heating the water. Wait a few minutes until water is hot. Not sure how that is determined. Then open the tap for hot water. Where am I going wrong?
On grid hooked to the RV park water line. My understanding is that in this situation the water heater is automatically filled. After that the rest of the exercise is similar to the off grid scenario. Where am I going wrong?
Just want to make sure that I am not inadvertantly taking a chance on burning up my water heater and as such need to do it correctly from the get go.
You would never know that in my career I handled up to 9 figure engineering/construction contracts for multinationals and have to proceed with baby steps now.
