An owner in one of my RV Facebook groups asked, “any idea what caused this?” to my RV water heater. It is very important to learn all you can when it comes to RV’s maintenance and why. An RV water heater fire is a serious safety concern that requires immediate attention and action. If you encounter a fire involving your RV water heater or suspect a fire hazard.
Ensure that your RV’s water heater is properly maintained, and follow manufacturer recommendations for usage and inspections. If you are uncertain about the condition of your RV’s water heater or any other component, consult with a qualified RV service professional.
