If you have an Atwood heater the element is outside behind the gun. It is covered by a plastic cap with 3 screws. You will need a multimeter to check for voltage as well as continuity across the terminals of the heater. Disconnect the wires before this test. Also be sure you turn off the power after you check if you have voltage at the heater terminals.
Good luck, the element is not hard to replace.
Let us know how you are making out.
