2016 Coleman CTS314BH

We just bought our new Coleman trailer. The dealer installed a "hot rod" for the water heater. Anyone have any experience with this?

Welcome!

What specifically do you need to know?
The hotrod is an electric element so you can use the water heater while plugged in to shore power. It works by itself or in conjunction with the gas burner. There"should"be a switch to turn it on and off.

I have one and they work really good, it does take a little longer to heat the water, however you can use LP and the rod at the same time to heat the water faster, The instructions stated this and I checked it, and it did work, but I am really in fo hurry to heat the water anyway and use the hot rod most of the time.

We use it all the time when we're not boondocking.
