We used our water heater propane for the first time in at least a year. Today I noticed black soot going up the side of the coach from the water heater access panel. Normally I use the electric side. What is the proper way to adjust the propane burner? Tom

Make sure there is nothing in the air tube, blocking air flow.

Had that happen on my previous CC. Look for a spider and web in the tubing. They are attracted to the propane. The way to prevent this is to buy a flea color at a pet store, put 1/2 of it in out side area, behind the cover, of the water heater and the other half in the back area of the refrigerator (if you have a Nocold). An old RV tech told me about this and he was right, and it works. Never had the problem again.

Usually a sign of bad air/ fuel mixture. Check the venture. Adjust til you get a nice blue flame.
