Electric Water Heater went up in smoke
On my last trip of 2012 the water heater had a problem. When it was on electric I could smell something burning and I heard an arching sound in the area of the water heater so I removed the dinette...

That relay uses 12V DC to operate it.
110V AC is switched via that relay.........that way 110V AC power isn't needed at the ON/OFF switch but just at the electric element area.
Get a new relay and then replace any/all terminals that are damaged. Strip wires back to good/clean wire.
Also check the electric element.....it probably shorted.
