A year ago I killed my water heater by attempting to run it with no water in the tank. I burned up the electric heating element, and even the propane gas fire stopped. Nothing would get it running again on either gas or electric. I did end up taking it to my RV repair shop and they fixed it. They put a new electric heating element in it, AND a new thermostat. Turns out, I destroyed the thermostat by running it with no water.
Could be a bad thermostat preventing either gas or electric from turning on.
Just a basic question here, but are sure you have water in the tank? I'm a seasoned camper, years and years with my TT and even my parent's TT as a kid. It only took one ... "DUH!" moment or "Senior Citizens" moment to forget ... oh C R A P! I forgot to fill it with water!
