Can anyone advise why my Truma Boiler model B10/B14 seems to cut out on either gas or 240V and needs to be turned off - wait for 5 minutes and turned back on again for the unit to heat up for one cycle and turn back off again? I have an Winnebago Esperance 2010 model. Thanks

The one we just replaced was pretty badly corroded, and almost worn or eaten away near the bolt at the top. ...
