Default Water Heater-Electric vs Gas

Have a 2720 with a SW6DE water heater. I was able to get it to heat with gas. The power switch outside, and then the switch inside in front ofthe sink got it to ignite and heat up. But how do I get it to heat with 110 AC? Just the outside switch powered on?

Yes. After ensuring that there's water in the hot water heater, just flip the outside switch at the water heater to use 110 Voltage AC for hot water.

(Sounds like you know to ensure that water's in the tank first before flipping the outside switch....but it's easy to forget that step when setting up a new camper if you've never had one before.)

The outside switch is for electric, the inside switch is for gas. They are 100% independent of each other, meaning you can run one or the other, or both for faster recovery.
