Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your LALAHOO RV Tankless Water Heater.

• Periodic Inspection: Regularly check all water and gas connections for any signs of leaks.
• Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the unit clean. Ensure the exhaust port and air intake vents are free from obstructions.
• Winterization: If operating in freezing temperatures or storing the RV, it is crucial to properly winterize the water heater to prevent damage from freezing. This typically involves draining all water from the unit and pipes.

If you encounter issues with your water heater, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Hot Water:
  • Check if the unit is receiving 12V DC power.
  • Ensure the gas supply is open and there is propane in the tank.
  • Verify sufficient water flow. The unit requires a minimum flow rate to activate.
  • Check the remote controller for any error codes.
• Water Leaks:
  • Inspect all plumbing connections for tightness. Re-tighten or re-seal as necessary.
  • If leaks persist, an internal component may be faulty. Contact customer support.
