I'm learning so much working on this coach, I never knew that you could
repair a 10" hole in the rear fender liner and mount a water heater with
Great stuff expanding foam, who would have thought...
Yesterday I found the electrical mod the PO had done to the water pump
circuit, Much better. GMC should have done it this way. Bundle of wires
wrapped around the RR bumper shock, when you need the water pump just
unwind and open the generator compartment and clip leads to the battery,
So much easier than cleaning the fuse holder to make it work
again...<sarcasm off>
So after getting the power to the water pump restored I added water to
the tank and fired it up to see if the water system works. Guess what, I
have one of these new flow through water heaters, oh wait isn't the
water supposed to stay inside the tank? <sarcasm off again> I got to get
that sarcasm switch fixed it keeps coming on by its self....
So it looks like a new water heater, I think I will go with the tank
less one several other members have gone with and mount it in the refer
compartment.
I got the Onan fired up, seems to run pretty good, a bit of smoke when
it first fires up and it has a bit of a knocking sound that seems to be
coming from the alternator section not the bottom end of the motor. I
might need to rebuild it but I'm going to hold off on that for now.
When I was underneath the front redoing the grounding straps I noticed
the engine is clean compared to the tranny and it has new clean not
rusted freeze plugs so the engine has been out and maybe rebuilt, Cool.
I also noticed that the driver seat is only bolted through the plywood
with only a standard size washer. is this normal or should there be some
more structure under there?
Any tips on getting the water heater out and the coolant lines rerouted?
Hope everyone had a great 4th.

You did check that the winter drain petcock is closed on the water heater right? Sarcasm on or off you choose

I have sent you a pdf file to your personal email that details how to get the water heater out from below the counter for the Type 1 water heaters.

If you want to or need to get a new waterheater, I found a company that has a unit that you can replace it with, it is a direct swap. I will be back home on monday if you want the info
just to be clear, this unit runs off of 120v and the engine coolent lines. it's designed for marine applications.

Actually I think I will go with the Gas on demand WH that several others
on the forum have installed. I will rarely have shore power.

I would like to have a copy of this procedure. I need to replace my
water heater also. daveel (at) ix.netcom.com It is OEM and 40 years
old. I guess it has served it purpose. The one I have does not have the
coil for the engine heating. I wonder if I can get one from Applied that
does not have the engine heating coil. I do not see it listed. I guess
I just have to call Jim K.

Hi Gary
I have flagged your email for later action. I am on a flight to Vancouver right now.
I will probably have Internet access on Monday so I can send the file to you then.
We are taking an Alaska cruise. That is the only state we haven't been in. I didn't want to drive my GMC all that way.
