I hate leaving the valves open for extended time...
should I be trying to use a flame initially (bad igniter even if I can hear it?)
had hoped water heater would ignite on gas....but it has not done that either. (on off switch was stuck in on...and expect the electric element is burned out...and the manual for the water heater in the RV is not the one for the one I have)
no switches on panel as the RV has the incommand system...
thanks

You are causing the problem by turning the propane valves off and on. If you don't turn slowly enough the safety system will STOP the flow. Just leave them on except for when changing. Even with inCommand you still have an On/Off switch for the electric part of the WH on the WH itself plus 2 reset buttons. If you have burnt out the electric element turn it off outside until you get it replaced. RV propane tanks are special, they are built to survive a crash. NEVER use a non RV approved tank in the RV.
BTW, I have never turned a propane tank off ever, those advisories and even laws pre-date the safety systems we have now and are redundant.
