Default Is hot water heater electric?

Have a 34' ultra supreme koala package. For the life of me I can not figure out how to get my hot water heater to run on electric.

I have looked everywhere for a switch or breaker....please help.

Not sure what you have, but on my coach to turn on the water heater to electric, it has a switch with a red light that goes on when you turn it on. On my coach it is by the refrigerator under the cabinets. But some trailers I have seen where the switch is on the out side. You remove the side cover and there should be a switch there for electric or gas IF you have a system that runs on both. Some trailers have gas only.

Mine is 34' class a, built in 2003 IIRC. I was under the impression that they were all electric and gas hot water heaters. For the life of me, I can not find the switch.

Can you see the water heater to see if there are wires connecting to the heating element? If so, keep looking for the switch. Had a trailer once that had a switch in the bottom of a kitchen cabinet at the back side of the water heater.

If you haven't found the switch yet, you might look under the galley sink. That's where ours is, and others have mentioned that spot as well.
