Thank you for this information. I may have ruined the electric element. Will my water heater still work on propane?
YES....
Separate systems with separate on/off switches
Atwood uses 12VDC for both electric/gas control functions
If Atwood it will have Both on/off switches Inside RV (2004 to present)
Use same set of t-stat/ECO and a thermal fuse (in clear tubing)
If Suburban the electric and gas use separate controls/switches
120VAC will have OEM on/off switch in outside compartment (RV MFg may have added a switch inside...both have to be on for element to work)
12VDC for gas will have on/off switch inside
Each have own set of T-stats ...high temp has a manual reset (under cover above gas valve)
Is this a Travel Trailer, Park Model Trailer or a 5th wheel?
Looks like from photos it uses an Atwood
