Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
So yesterday we are eating lunch outside and notice the water sputtering from the hot water heater along with dirt? red rusty looking. It stopped, we did dishes, washed a load of laundry and showered. All seemed fine, until I took a shower this morning and there was only half the hot water and the water heater had a steady drip. Any suggestions?? John was out of town today and couldn't deal with it:(
Thank you!!

First thing to check is the relief valve, they tend to start leaking first. It's easy to see if it's leaking there, it's just inside the outer door. If it is. Turn the heater off and let the water cool, then move the lever on the valve a couple of times. Many times you have to replace the valve, it's cheap and easy to do.
you also want to check your water pressure.......if the water pressure is high it will cause the pressure relief valve to leak or blow off water........you should be using a water pressure regulator on your incoming water , some parks the water pressure is very high.
also like red said....test the relief valve.....if it is suspect they can be found at most hardware stores , Lowes , Home depot
