CRS (can't temember sh@#)
I was fixin my generator this weekend and when I tested it I turned
on all the breakers to check out all the 120 volt AC stuff. I had shut
some down cause I was tripping the 20 amp circuit at the house
connection. Like a real genius, I also turned on the hot water heater,
DUH, The water system is drained for the winter. I am hopeing there is
a sensor to protect the heater element when there is no water in the
system; Is that present on a '78? I won't be able to check it out
until this weekend, but if I smoked it, does anyone have a replacement
part number for the heater element?

Gardener,
Can't speak for the 78 but the 77 did not have a "no water, no heat"
system, so you may find an element with a downward bend. Seems simple
enough to do, use a pressure switch at the HWH, no pressure, no heat.
Can't help you with the element, maybe yours is still good?

the best way to cure a crs injury is to pull the elemant and take it
to the rv supply house and match it up its also the easiest enew
elelment if needed is fairly inexpensive

The block heater, in my opinion- and that of my neighbors- is an absolute
must in cold weather. You will eliminate most of the smoke-vs a cold start. It
also helps on the wear and tear.

Gardner- thats cool- in fact- here in Montana- damn cold- 2 degrees and
"supposed" to drop to -14. I'm leaving here- if I'm not frozen to the ground
maybe
in less then a week.

Terry- just took a nice hot shower in my coach. The only thing I need is a
thawed out "P" trap for the shower. Looks like I didn't put enough pink stuff
down there.

Ernie,
I've never done that! But then, I've never used the block heater.

Since I don't have a 'no water' switch to protect the element, can
anyone give me a part number and description of what you have? I
know I will do it again, so why not head it off at the pass.
