We need more information to help.
What make/model?
We're you using it on propane or electric?
What have you checked so far?

As 5picker stated, we need to know what brand you have to give accurate advice. Forest River uses a couple of brands, which although operate similar, do have some differences.

I would first make sure you have not tripped a circuit breaker, if it was working and now is not.

Pictures speak volumes, if you can provide them.

In the meanwhile, if you have the Suburban brand, maybe this thread can give you some ideas.

We need to know who made your water heater... Atwood, Suburban, else.

R N T It is important to list the actual type of water heater you have installed because the trouble shooting for each is a little different. I'm sure the forum will have an answer to your problem once they know the type.

12 years old. If the fuses are good probably needs a new element.
