Thanks for posting this pawpod, I watched all six "podisodes" Wink        I found it a good springtime refresher.
 
Just one question that perhaps others can correct me on. The chap who did your walkthrough stated emphatically that in order to use your water heater on propane, you had to have the exterior electrical water heater switch on. I seem to recall the water heater working on propane independantly of the electrical system. Anyone?

You are correct.  The 110 V switch does not have to be on and as a matter of fact you don't even have to have 110 V power to the pod for the water heater to operate on propane.  The DC power has to be available for the controls and igniter to work but not the 110 V power.  Hope that helps answer you concerns.

Thank you for posting the video links and taking the time to record the walk through.  It is nice to review the walk through every once in a while.  Especially for us old timers that might have a tendency to forget a few of the details.  I reviewed all of your videos and you did a nice job on them.
Thanks again for making this contribution to the R Pod Nation.

I'm going to try the heater without turning on the switch first. Worst case, no hot water. And it was my pleasure posting the video's.
