I would not use Scotch lock type (Like above) for anyting that NEEDS to be connected, I've had to re-do far too many connections done that way.
120 vac is delivered via Romex to a box on the back (inside) of the water heater.. No need to remove unit from RV to check
Inside this box is a 12 volt powered relay
Check for 120 volt, and 12 volt with the tank full of COLD water.
IF one or the other is not there, get back with us
Just above that box is the heat element. Disconnect one wire, measure the screw to screw resistance and get back with us on that as well.
