No Hot Water

https://i.imgur.com/bQulQ6Z.jpg

This is our water heater in our camper. We're not getting any hot water out of it whatsoever. The "Water Heater" switch on the switchboard lights up, so it seems to be getting power. There's plenty of propane and the fridge is working.

I've had no luck trying to figure it out. Everything I found on Google on diagnosing and fixing problems didn't seem to apply to this model, as I can't find the pilot light or any kind of restart button.

If anyone has advice on this model of water heater I would greatly appreciate any help you all can give.
  • Looks like an Atwood. can you confirm that and its model number?
    also need pics from the other side of the WH, where the bypass valves are.
  • Is the propane on? Do you get a spark when you turn it on?
  • We have plenty of water, both at the sink and the valve on the water heater.
  • are you getting water but it just isn't hot or are you not getting water at all?
  • Update: I checked every fuse (including the 2 amp fuse on the heater itself) and flipped every breaker, just in case.
