If you are electrically inclined, You can connect 120V directly to the heater element. If the element is good it will be cold in the morning, 12 - 24 hours.
This bypasses the thermostat/controls.
I keep a short double ended bypass cord in the camper just in case I have control or gas problems while traveling.
Be safe, it is 120V.
On our Norcolds, the controls allow me to choose AC, DC, Gas, or Auto.
I have accidently put it on Gas when I wanted it on Auto. For me, the gas was low so it lit, I shut the door and went in the house. Next morning it was still warm.
I'm sure I'm the only one that has ever done that.
