Most likely the electric element for the water heater. Since most coaches in this class range have heaters that are both propane and electric -- you may never have noticed any issues so far with getting hot water. How long have you had this coach and how much use have you given it??

I bought it from an older couple that bought it brand new and kept it garaged I contacted gulfstream but they couldn't give me info went thru the owners manual but had no info on what it controls.i bought it 4 months ago thanks for your help
 
Mushroom,

Your breaker panel will have a "water heater" or similar breaker in it -- so you can do the following tests:

Ensure that your water heater has water in it, as operating it dry can damage the element. While connected to shore power so you have 110 volts AC to the coach, you should be able to verify the following.

Turn on the toggle switch in your panel that you show in your first post -- the red lamp should light. If it does not, look for and turn on the water heater 110 VAC breaker in the breaker panel.

Your panel may look similar to the one shown below:

I have a Cresendo and have the same switch and it is not labeled either. I do have a switch for the water heater but do not have a switch for the tank heaters. I suspect this switch is for that. Tomorrow I will feel of the tank and see if they are warm then turn it off and see what happens.
