I'm in need of a hot water heating element.
That's a 1000watt, 4 bolt, 120volt element.

Camco #04303 (one source, but not in Maine)

Does anyone know where I can get one.
Don't bother mentioning Camping World. Their reply was

Thing I'll pass !!
The 1000draws 8amps, the 1500draws 13.........on a 20 amp circuit
the micro on with the hot water heater and I'd be running outside to
reset the breaker.....an activity I would rather avoid :-)

Thanks

Depot to get a thermostat for water heater around $7.00 I think.

The element is $6.14 (Chromalox part #SG1107L) Part #N87-016

I will send the closest store # if you are interested or you could give your

I got everything I needed (including the adapter) from Home
Depot. I even went with a 1500 Watt element (I know 1000
watt is recommended) but it sure heats the water fast. So
far I have not tripped any of the breakers.
