hot water

Most RV's that I know of for later years have a hot water tank much like your home.
They can be heated with propane or electric.
I generally heat mine with propane to start as it heats up faster then shut off the propane and turn on the electric.
You can actually turn them both on at the same time for quicker response but I don't.

Ok so I filled up my water tanks.
Theres a switch that says hot water and it has a red light beside it that says reset underneath it.
I turn the switch to on and the red light comes on and stays on about a minute then clicks off?
How long does it usually take to get hot?

Six or ten gallon tank? Gas is the faster of the two heat sources and you normally will feel some warmth at the faucet within about 20 minutes. We usually had a enough to shower within a couple hours. In part it depends on the water temperature you start with, but that is not a huge factor. Never really timed it and we never left ours on all day when running on propane as no need to do so.

That red light may not be an "on" indicator. It may be a fault indicator.
Have you checked to make sure there is actually water in the tank? Most of them have a bypass for winterization. With city water connected and on, pull the overpressure valve and see if water comes out the top of the tank.

Before you do anything else just open the temperature pressure relief valve on the outside and see if the water is hot. If you have the heater running on electric, the gas will not stay on because the water is already hot.
