But it went so quickly, we could be mistaken. Hopefully we haven't burned out the water heater....if so, we may be looking for a new element. Thanks for your help. We are totally new to having a trailer. We may have a few questions as time goes by.
In his haste to get back to his other duties, the guy that walked you through your Laredo was mistaken or you didn't understand him properly. The furnace is propane only (with a 12 volt fan to push the air) and there is no 110 volt heat capability in the furnace. (There is a 110 volt add on unit but I seriously doubt you have that on an 05 Laredo). There is a possibility that you have a 110 volt heat element mounted in your air conditioner, but again, that option isn't usually found in earlier ducted air systems.

The switch, I'm sure, is for your hot water heater and should look something like this example or a variant of this type switch.
