Hot Water 

 

Your Roadtrek is equipped with a propane fired tankless water heater. The heater has no tank and operates on demand. At low flows water may be hot, while 
at high flows water may be cooler. This is normal. When you turn on the water heater you will not hear it fire up. It only ignites when it senses a water demand. 
The control is located on the inside wall of the cabinet. Refer to your Girard water heater manual for details of operation. 

The three valves in bypass configuration are for assembly testing and maintenance purposes. They should not be operated in normal use, even during 
winterizing. 

 

Refer to the Girard water heater manual for specific instructions on operating as this unit operates differently from a typical 6 gal. water heater.
