- Does anyone know where the 12 volt supply to the water heater is fused? All the fuses in the front compartment are OK, but I am not getting any voltage to the water heater.I also don’t see any fuses marked WH in the fuse panel.110 works fine.
ThanksPosted: 7:49 AM – Feb 06, 2017Thanks to falconhunter link to a troubleshoot guide for the suburban water heater help me resolve my water heater issue.Posted: 8:19 AM – Feb 06, 2017I believe the water heater in my 2011 Cameo is a 2 way, not a three way. It is powered by either 110 or LP. If the water is to be kept hot while in motion, the LP must lit. The switches for LP or electric hot water are right next to each other in my rig, presumably to enable the operator to make sure only one power source is on at a time. Perhaps yours is similar? Hope that helps.Posted: 8:29 AM – Feb 06, 2017The water is heated by LP or 120 volt AC but the heater requires 12 volt DC for it to operate on LP. The 12 volt DC power runs the thermostatic control and igniter for the LP operations.Pat

Posted: 10:08 PM – Feb 06, 2017Thanks guys, I was referring to the 12 volts required to ignite the propane, I found the fuse, which on my rig is number 11 in the fuse panel marked DSI , 7.5 amp fuse.
Cheers.
