I recently purchased a 2005 30' Zinger and I'm having problems getting the hot water heater lit. Iv'e been told it could possibly be the thermocouple at the heater (which recognizes a flame & opens the gas valve). I have held a lighter on the thermocouple for 5 minutes & see that it is glowing red, but still no gas flow...At that time, I have gone into the camper & lit all 4 burners on the stove top just to prove I have gas flowing through the lines, but
still no flow at the heater...I'm planning on taking my daughter hunting this weekend, and without hot water, there will be no showers for us this weekend...PLEASE HELP!!
Does this sound like a thermocouple problem or am I missing something...
P.S. the camper has a switch inside for "gas" and one for "electric" for the water heater...
after 5 seconds the red light appears when I turn the "gas" switch on...the operating manual tells me to turn it off & wait 3 minutes & try again...well after an hour of this with no luck, I gave up... The electric igniter is also not working...it is suppose to re-light the heater
each time the heater kicks on, but no tick-tick-tick is coming from the igniter, could this possibly be a part of my problem. Thanks.
