Re: Mini Split air conditioner

I installed a 12,000btu mini-split AC/HEAT PUMP in my '68 A 25th this spring. We were out 4 times this summer and two of those were in 95+ heat with high humidity. Worked better than I expected. And no noise.

Atwood water heater gas valve replacement

Water heater help!
Just got around to checking out the water heater on our new to us '69 A-25 and it's not working. The red dial on the gas valve will not turn to "pilot" even with help from a pair of pliers. Has any one replaced the valve one of these Atwood 6 gal heaters?
