Mark and Dale Bruss Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 You get a new tank with a new water heater. We had a 12 gallon Suburban replaced in 2009 in our 2006 Travel Supreme. We replaced it again in 2015. Since you have a 2003, you probably have a 10 gallon water heater.

Nearly all things that penetrate the exterior of your RV will be sealed with butyl tape and this is probably either 1" or less in width. I keep a roll with me at all times.

57becky Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I replaced our 12 gallon Suburban a couple years ago, and used silicone caulk everywhere the original caulk was, and the original was silicone. Our tank leaked at a weld where the chamber for the gas burner is mounted to the main tank. It appears to be a poor weld along with stress from vibration. I was able to do the job in a little over two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
