I have a ws31 and with propane electric ignite.

I am winterized and it is cold here. I was in the unit today to get it ready for a trip. Turned the heater on to warm up the coach. to my surprise my hot water heater fired up. I shut off the propane switch on the panel that controls the gas to heater as well as the water heater, so I found out.

This is not my first propane heater but my old unit had a separate switch dedicated for the water heater for propane and electric.

Can anyone tell me where that separate water heater switch is so I can heat the home and not worry about heating up an empty water tank ??

I went crazy looking for the ignition switch for the dedicated water heater but no where to be seen. I believe it would be a seperate rocker switch with a indicator light that would go off when it lites.

Thanks. I feel pretty stupid here and any help would work.

I can fill the water tank and let it heat the water only so I have heat until I am in a warmer climate. That way I would burn out the water tank heating up empty and the temp sensor will cut it off. After 2 days I should be able to turn the pump on and let water in all the house lines but I do not want to until I am sure of more stable temps.
