Girard GSWH-1/GSWH-1M gas smell

Use this when gas odor is present near a legacy Girard GSWH-1 or GSWH-1M water heater or inside the RV.

Owner-safe checklist

  • Leave the RV and keep people away from ignition sources.
  • Shut off LP at the source only if it is safe to do so.
  • Do not touch switches, radios, phones, engines, generators, or flames in the RV.
  • Contact the gas supplier, Lippert/Girard, a qualified RV technician, or the fire department before restoring LP.
