I thought it was just me, but we seem to have to turn the lit switch on whenever we want hot water. There isn’t hot water after we plug into the shore line, until that switch is turned on.

I heard the warnings about not using the electric element until there’s water in the tank, so the first thing I did was flip off the breakers labeled for the water heater. Then I got water, and purged any air, and reset the breakers. Never noticed a thing warm about it, so I just continued using the gas. We only need it a couple times a day, and turn it off when through.

Maybe I should go through the manual, again, and make sure the resets on the unit, itself are properly set.

Worse comes to worse, when I get a chance, I can bleed the tank and pull out the element, and see if it’s burned out. That sounds possible at this point.

Reason it’s been no big deal is because our 3380 was the same way.
