Thanks for all the help. We just returned from our 8 day trip. The day before we left I was in Myrtle Beach and picked up a element from CW. They did not have a wrench but got one from Lowes.
I decided to test the electric side before leaving, thinking it was toast and I would replace the element upon return. To my surprise it was not toast and the HWH worked on electric.
I did turn off the little electric switch and we used the HWH on propane during the trip with no issues.
So all is well I think ( never sure ). And now I know to only turn on the little switch outside when I want to use the HWH on electric.
Just one other question. Did I get ripped off by CW on the element? They charged $30.99 after my GS discount. I noticed at Lowes a small 1500W element was like $8.00 and I think someone on here or utube said they should be < $15.00. Thought I would keep it for spare, but man I hate to get ripped off.
