water heater issue

2016 Dutchman Denali 5th Wheel.

I blow out all water lines to winterize my RV. So first trip out electric hot water not working at all and gas only getting warm not hot.

When I attached water to the rig, I started bleeding the air out of the lines and then remembered that I hadn't flipped the valve to fill the hot water tank. I did that, then turned on the hot water control on the kitchen and bathroom sink.

I am getting no hot water at all on the electric side and just warm water on the gas side.

The circuit breaker on the service panel is on.

I did a search for hot water issues and saw some talk about perhaps air being in the tank.

Also, I haven't run the bathtub faucet yet. When we get to our next destination, I may pull the plug in the tank, let it drain and refill it.

Will update in about 400 miles
