Not familiar with your coach but my '99 Newmar has a switch from propane to elec. Choose which one you want.

If this does not help provide more info and pictures.

good luck

Not familiar with your coach, but the one I have now has two switches side by side. My previous coach had the switch for the electric above the kitchen stove all by itself. Dont ask me why they would put it there. If you have a dual water heater, which most do, you will have to find the switch. If you have the coach manuals, you should find it in there.

That looks like my 1998 Beaver (Safari owned at the time) and the Seaward is a 6 gallon tank on mine with a electric heating element. It seems to run anytime the coach is plugged in. The Hurricane system will only heat if the motor is running heating water in the heat exchanger or if the Hurricane heater is on heating the heat exchanger either for hot water or engine pre heat, or actual heat.

Thanks everyone found the switch I just bought this coach and unfortunatly the previous owner has a touch of dementia and could not explain anything for me so I have to figure it out myself. I appreciate your input so far will properly ask more questions soon.

Think nothing of it I know exactly how the previous owner feels
