g6a-7e water heater question

Hello everyone,
I bought this motor home last year and have used the water heater many times this year and last. Last week when I went to light it, I flipped the switch inside and the light above the switch did not come on, nothing happens at the water heater. I don't think I can light it manually. I do have LP and the stove and furnace work fine. I also checked all fuses. Does anyone know where I might start? Thank you for reading

    Maybe your house batteries are low and your no longer getting 12 volts to the switch or HW Heater.

    I would check the batteries first, then if they are good take the switch off the wall and check for voltage there. If there is voltage then hotwire the wires behind the switch to rule out the switch being bad. It should come on if the switch is bad and you wire around it.

    I'm no tech so there may be other things to check, but this would be where I would start.
