18' Series Hot water system

[Seanm5253]

Hi guys thought I'd do a bit of maintenance on the van before our Easter trip coming up.
I had noticed a leak from the hot water system last trip so after inspection,
I found that the relief valve pipe must of been touching the gas burner pipe and had melted it closed.
Not a big fix but thought it may be worth posting for others to check on theirs.

I was doing the same today, could of left the anode a little longer?

At least your overflow pipe is not directly in front of the anode! Like mine! What a PITA to get it out!

Good find @Seanm5253 and better still... Good timing. Better than finding after it melted all the way out in the middle of no-where!
