So you have to have the breaker on, the outside switch on the tank on, the electric option on your panel on, and have it plugged in, to get hot water. This plug is not mentioned in any literature I could find and technician at CW was just shaking his head when I told him about it.

If the tech was shaking his head, it makes me wonder. Is he the one that did the PDI? If so he needs some additional training. There are Suburban water heaters and Atwood (Dometic) water heaters and there are distinct differences in the two. For the AC side, one has a cord and the other is hard wired. One has the heating element in the front and the other in the rear.
