I had my Raritan 20 gallon go out at Creede. Luckily Tom & David found the problem while they were "snooping" in my basements! The tank had started leaking where the electrical connections to the elements are. When we discovered it the insulation on the cover had already started to smolder. Could have been really bad!
I was lucky to find the same heater on Ebay through Seachest.com for about $500 and had it a few days after we returned home. I took the opportunity to add a tempering valve ala Tom's.
Your comments have me wondering if the temp/press valve supplied with the Raritan will start to relieve when the engine is running at temperature?
Has anybody noticed the relief leaking especially when climbing and engine temps at 200?
