[p]This will be short and sweet.[/p][p]
[/p][p]We picked up our new camper on the 15th of June in Illinois. Bit of a grueling trip but that's my problem. Left with a minor paint touch-up issue that we will have done in Reno.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Installed the Anderson WDS after a full PDI of the trailer which everything function as normal and no issues. Had a weight distribution problem mostly because we packed a lot of extra stuff for the 2 week trip including a picnic table on the cargo carrier of the truck. Still have not had time to weigh things out but will before our next trip in August.[/p][p]
[/p][p]1st night camping was in a nice RV park in Lander, WY and no issues with the TT at all. Set-up was fine. Water heater functioned fine.[/p][p]
[/p][p]On the 17th we went into Yellowstone and got set-up for 7 days camping. This is the point we started having issues with the water heater. It would attempt to light up and after 3-4 attempts you would hear this loud whoosh from the propane build-up. After 3 times and concerned about possible fire I opened the vent cover and it function normally from that point on. I knew we were going camping in California when we got back so left it alone to evaluate it once back. 3 days camping in CA with vent cover closed and functioning normally now. Will have it checked before we go out again in August but suspect the altitude may have contributed to the problems in Yellowstone.[/p][p]
[/p][p]TT worked out fine with no real issues beyond water heater. Have a few mods to make in the future but for now all is great.[/p]

[font size="3"]What was your elevation at Yellowstone? I've had issues with heaters at elevation on other campers. Just not enough air. That's why opening the cover will sometimes help.
