    RV water heater gas valve
    I installed new unitrol gas valve in water heater. It lit up and worked great for one afternoon and evening. It would not release gas to burner. I have tried three new thermocouples. The pilot lights the thermocouple heats up. But when releasing pilot and turning to on the best I get is a second burp of gas then nothing
