As already stated: Make sure there is water in the water heater BEFORE you apply any heat to it. If the trailer was winterized, the water heater by-pass valve will have been turned to by-pass and the water heater tank will not fill.
You can verify that there is water in the heater by pulling on the pressure relief valve. Once you have determined that there is water in the water heater tank, make sure the outside switch is turned on. It will be hidden behind the burner tube and is mounted upside down so that pressing the rocker down is on.
Then turn on the electric switch on the control panel inside the camper. You should have hot water. Then, you can decide if you want to run the water heater on gas - electric - or both. If you tried to use the electric side of the heater without ant water in the tank, you will probably have to replace the heater element.
