What? How can you have a water heater in an enclosed area? Don't they have to vent outside? Aren't they designed to have the access panel on the outside of the RV?
A look at the brochure states a gas/elec water heater. It has to have access to the burner and elec element from the outside. Are you sure you know how to change the element? Should be a 10 minute job from the outside of your rv.
I'm looking at pictures of Jayco Embarks on the net and I can clearly see the water heater access panel between the slides on one model.
Something in your OP doesn't pass the smell test.
My Atwood water heater has the electric element on the back. It is accessed from inside the MH via the access door INSIDE the MH. It is beside the bypass valves.
