Do I need to take the trailer to HD to get a new water heater or can I
lay the box on its side in the bed of my truck? I have a fiberglass
topper and the heater is too tall to stand up.

The boxes say "This side up" and whatnot, but it's a water heater...
I'd like to save gas and just get the heater on the way home instead
of making a special trip.
I wouldn't try it. Most if not all of the preheated water that is
installed at the factory will leak out. Water heaters are notoriously
hard to prime if the factory installed water gets out.
Thank you so much! Im, so glad I found your post, or I would have lost all my factory installed water!
