Well, I hope your carbon monoxide detector doesn’t shut off.

Well, I hope your carbon monoxide detector doesn’t shut off.
Everything is gas/electric and mostly running on electric, so hopefully that isn't an issue. It's one of those things where I can generally get things running when I go out there just by messing around. The problem is that it's an hour and a half away.
Sometimes on new stuff folks just forget to peel off the plastic film...
Following?
Check thermocoupler, then what the limit switch ?(if any) is set for . There could be as CN mentioned some blockage. Or line and outlet to trailer is not the right amperage, tripping breakers. It's hooked up to a 25-30A waterproof outlet, yes?Quote:

What does the FLT light in the upper left corner indicate on this panel?

When the water heater was off, that light was on. I turned the DSI heater switch off, then on again, and a minute or so later the water heater kicked back on. I realized that when the water heater was off, the FLT light was illuminated, but once it turned back on, that light was off.
You'd think I could just look through all the documentation of this trailer and find some directions that tell me what all this stuff is, but I've been unable to find anything like that for the trailer. Very frustrating.
Curious. Some reason the dealer isn't on the phone with you?
I need to call them back. They haven't been as helpful as I'd like with initial issues getting everything up and running.

Answer to my question and makes sense.
I'll add turning down the water heater to my list of questions for the dealer.Quote:
It will only come on when it needs to light the propane flame for the water heater. You will see it come on when you first flip the switch for the water heater and it will stay on until the heater fires. Sometimes it will give you the "fault" light if it does not fire right away but it will try again until it lights. If it gives you a solid fault light for a long period of time, check your propane to be sure it is on and not empty.
Basically it is telling you that the electronic spark is firing to light the propane.
I should add that this is something different from the 120 V electric heater switch. It only relates to the propane fired heat.
