Hot Water Heating Element

[aljolleyjr]

Has anybody ever changed a hot water heater element?

[nailbender]

Never changed one in a RV, but did in a hot tub. It is similar to changing the anode rod, just unhook the two electric wires and use a large socket to remove heater element.

and remember to be sure the tank is refilled before applying power to the new element...

Agree with all that was said....very easy job..

Mine was a little hidden - seems like I had to move a plastic cover or something out of the way to see it.

I had to remove the plastic cover and also loosen the propane feed to get it out. That is the area you need to be careful. The heater element had a warning sticker with regards to the propane tube.
Good luck.

Thanks to all, I think that I will tackle the job tommorow. Thanks again.
