Gas/electric water heater switchover?
OK - I searched, and came up with nothing..... When we purchased our Keystone Laredo, the woman who owned it said something about it having a dual-heat water heater; something she hadn't been aware...

LOL!! After Shadoow's reply, I could see that - like so many other things with RV's - nothing is "standard". sigh. So I drove through the snowstorm to our work where the 5er is parked.
There are no switches behind the outside panel. Reading the Attwood manual says to turn on the electric heater element, to flip the switch located at the back of the heater to "on". Now, in MY case, the back of the heater is easily accessed by a kitchen cabinet door under the refrigerator. I can see how this would be re-routed if you can't get to the back of the heater.
It would make sense that the "red" (looks black until it's illuminated when it's "ON") button just under the kitchen countertop at the sink turns on the gas/starts the electronic ignition process. My friend's Bounder has a similar button in a similar spot (which is STUPID because little kids can reach that!). In our Class C with a gas-only heater, it's located on the "levels" panel.
Thanks, everyone!
