Okay, finally got back to the problem and brought an electrician from work home with me (thanks Clint). Pulled out the On/Off switch and found power to both sides, so we decided to pull the cover off the over temp resets. Both resets have a piece of wire attached to both ends of switch. Lo and behold, the wire on the left switch was burned in two! Went to Carter's Campers and purchased a new one (30 bucks for that little bugger!). The guy there seemed to think that when the element shorted out it caused this switch to short out also. Opinions anyone? Anyway, I replaced this switch (my electrician had gone home), put everything back together and turned the power on. 15 minutes later I had hot water! I'll try to post pictures, I've never done it before. PS-While I had Clint here he put in a 30 amp plug; what a difference! I recently melted an adaptor plugged into an extension cord. It was worth digging a 60 foot trench in the 100 degree heat! Thanks to all for all the advice!
