[VAC] Re: Trouble lighting water heater pilot



Jerry,
 Look underneath your trailer and you'll see the gas lines. If there's a
shutoff valve, it'll be quite near the water heater. Most gas shutoff
cocks have a handle that must be in line with the tubing to be 'open',
if it's cross-ways, it's 'off'. There may or may not be stops to prevent
its being moved too far, so you may have to look at it to be certain
that it's where you want it.

I'm assuming that you're holding the Red button in, twisting the knob to
"Pilot" against the spring, or whatever you have to do to bypass the
safety stuff during lighting...
