Thor 2017 class c water heater gas only?
I have a coworker that has this unit . Purchased at CW new last year . They were asking me about why the water heater wouldn't run on electricity, I said it should. They take it in and CW says it's no...

IF an Atwood WH (and it appears some of the THOR CLass C's use Atwood-----course THOR has SEVERAL Class C's) it will have a DUAL on/off panel....one switch for electric and one switch for gas with Fault light between them
Only other way to tell is look on backside of water heater tank near bottom...protective cover over electric element. No cover...no electric
If Suburban (THOR may/may not use??)
There will ne an ON/OFF switch in outside compartment lower left for electric (may be one inside if RV Mfg installed one) and there will be a cover over element behind/below gas valve.
Otherwise it could very well be a GAS Only 6 gallon water heater with DSI (Electronic ignition) which is common install.
IF they look inside outside compartment and see Model Number
Atwood...gas/electric will be a GC6A-10E (gas only G6a-10E)
Suburban..gas/electric will be a SW6-DE (gas only SW6-D)
Warranty
Atwood....2 years from DATE of PURCHASE
Suburban..2 years from DATE of PURCHASE
