My American Appliance 6 gal water heater will scald you both when using engine coolant and when pluged in to 120 volt power. I know why the engine gets it too hot and we deal with that. My thermostat on the water heater has gone bad and will not open until it reaches the 190 degree safety limit. I cannot find a replacement with 190 high limit. The Home Depot, etc. stores for home water heaters use a high limit of 170 degrees and I know some people have the problem that when they pull into camp ground the 120 v won't heat because the high temp limit is kicked out. Does anyone have a source for the higher safety 190 degree thermostats?
