I recently purchased a 2009 Gulfstream kingsport 264BHS travel trailer. For the life of me I can not find the switch to ignite the pilot for the water heater. It's not on the outside service panel where the pilot and water heater are. Nor is it by the board that shows the levels of the black and Grey tanks.....any ideas?
 
First, likely no pilot, as they often are DSI= Direct Spark Ignition, so usually =just switch labeled WATER HEATERL BUT maybe electric? Some floorplans have a wall switch in/ near kitchen or bath w/ red fault light that comes on if gas unit fails to light? Sadly, this switch often not labeled and is confusing to new owners. I read one (bleep) that bragged about she went thru "her new rig" and removed all labels and warning signs because "she did not like how they looked"- Ugggggggggghhhh?
