Subject: Water Heater Element Author: Dave Ward [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02/ 8/ 09, 8:00pm I need to replace the electric heating element in the water heater of my 1980 FC-31. Nameplate says Raritan Engineering, Millville, N.J. It is a 1250 watt element, looks fairly normal but is old style 4 bolt mounting rather than screw in element. Any help appreciated.

[> Subject: Re: Water Heater Element Author: Michael [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02/ 9/ 09, 8:33am Hey Dave, so you found out the element was bad? I think Raritan Engineering is no more? I ended up replacing mine with a Kuuma Products 11 gallon water heater from Randy Dupree at www.dupreeproducts.com for about $242 plus $55 shipping to Mesa. It's almost a direct replacement but due to mounting issues it interfers with my 50amp power receptacle. I'd really like to keep it in the recessed space but am considering raising the bed 1/2" so the water heater can be adjusted anywhere under the bed to accomodate easier plumbing. I'll have the bus over at the house this Wed & Thur if you'd like to stop by, Camino & Santa Barbara. Cheers, [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I did get a reply from John Finn on the other board saying that Dupree products is a Raritan dealer. I'll definitely try to come by while you have the coach at the house.
