Hooked up as diagram showed. Which is only one way to hook up. But even at the lowest setting the element will not shut off. Causing the heater to boil out. Now that the hot water boiled out through the pressure valve onto the gas control. It heated the seals now the gas won't work either. So trying to save from using gas. Now I have to spend 360$ on a new water heater.

Worked fine for the first 2 weeks of random uses. Maybe once or twice a week. Then completely stopped then would start when turned off.

The compression fitting broke while screwing into the 3/434; bushing. I was not turning hard or cranking on it. It is made of cheap metal. I contacted Camco support over a week ago and have not heard back from them. I would return it, but it is already fully installed except for that bushing. I had to unplug it and use my old plug for a trip this past week. I now need to either find my own compression fitting or uninstall the whole thing and return it. Very disappointing and not the support I have come to expect from Camco.

I purchased this unit in 2015 to replace the propane water heater in my 1987 RV. I have used it 2 times (only use the RV once a year). Went to use it last March and while I was out for the day, I came back to a flooded RV. The tank leaked continually while I was gone. Only used 2 times!! Yes I used a pressure regulator and also winterized the RV. Very disappointed.

This didn't work at all. Don't know if I got a bad one or what, still wound up buying another HWH.

Picture of product makes it look like this is the whole kit which would include T-stat, wiring, element switch. All it was is the heating element. My mistake for not reading more closely. I could have and did buy an element for $9.00 not $30.00. Very sneaky representation.

I bought back in June and the wires got too hot and fried them. Now I have to buy another one to replace it.

It worked on my first trip out a month ago but this past weekend(8/12) it has stopped working. I've checked it with my meter and it shows grounded on all sides. I tried touching the tank to see what was going on and I got a hell 9off a shock. No warranty....no worries I'll take it off and fix the water heater the correct way. I'll not be buying another one of these.

Purchased this and received it on June 15th. Was able to use it once and it worked great. Now on July 20th it already does not work. And of course it is past time to be able to return it. So not only do I have no hot water in my RV but I am also out the $60 I spent on this purchase. And whatever it will cost to purchase a new one.

Couple problems. First, price was dropped $40 just after return period passed. Tried contacting the manufacturer BEFORE about the second problem but got NO answer. Second, this version does NOT include any anode rod, just a heat element. Since it goes in the anode rod hole, you forfeit the protection of your tank, the WHOLE purpose of the anode rod.

Installation is easy enough. Directions are clear. The element is garbage. After completing the installation, it pligged it in to the available 120V/20A GFCI where my RV is parked. It immediatelty tripped it. Using my meter, I isolated the issue to the element. I used an adapter to plug into the 120V/30A. It made 1 tank of water, and the element completely failed. I've bought countless items with the Camco name on them. I'm very surprised they have such poor QC on this particular product.
