Congratulations! Glad you have it working. Sounds to me you did a good job finding the problem, getting the right part and up and running in one try.
I don't think anything will protect against the element burning out if we don't have enough water in the tank. What's way worse is the "standing pilot" LPG models. At least in Atwood, the high limit of the thermostat in the Gas Control is called ECO (Energy Cut Off) is a One-Time setup.

Suburban pilot flame models have same one-time ECO probe.
As with Atwood.....it is an integral part of gas control valve and requires complete replacement if it trips (190*F)
