What year is your RV?
In Water Heater Outside panel is a data plate with MODEL Number (ie: GC6a-3E or GC10A-8E etc)
'3E' or '9E' (or lower version numbers) mean electric & propane are independent systems (nothing is common)-separate 120V AC and 12V DC controls
'4E' or '10E'.......use SAME 12V DC controls to operate the 120V AC for electric and the 12V DC for propane
Year/Version numbers make big differences in what problems can be
